The WBP was a major success and compliments to all the volunteers who made it happen. 
I slowly strolled the event at noon, ate some incredible food for lunch, and listened to "Electric Funeral" burn through tune after tune while folks chatted and the street vendors hawked goods.
In spite of what you wrote, Police Chief Kerns was there with other officers, shaking hands and sharing high fives. Within one block on third street, I saw several attendees, neighbors, and street vendors come up and thank them for being there. Their smiles and laughter added to a cacophony of joyful sounds. I call that community.
