last minute shopping

Out for a bit of last minute shopping.  Never have I seen so much traffic in our part of town!  And Regent and Lagimodiere is considered one of the busiest intersections int he city at the best of times! Who are these people?  Why are they out roaming the streets at 1:00 in the afternoon?  Have they no jobs? I am so-o-o-o glad to be home, and don't plan to leave the house until Sunday afternoon.
