At the end of a decade, south end of town

By 10pm traffic seemed almost nonexistent.  Driving through the neighborhood I noticed many family parties.  A local bar which was overflowing the day before was barely at 50 percent. A few restaurants closed early.

A local road checkpoint was set up but not manned Monday or Tuesday evening.  It may have been different in other parts of the city.

Midnight fireworks seemed a lot less than in past years.  Within 20 minutes the night was silent.
I visited fiver neighborhood parties and was home before midnight.
