[RP TownTalk] Huh?

[Liz LaGarde]

Maureen,

From what my family saw on opening day, the police were there to direct traffic. No accidents, just a very full parking lot. There were Whole Foods staff communicating open space numbers to one another and perhaps the police as well.

As to today, I'm not sure. But perhaps it's the same situation.
