On Sunday November 26, 2023, walk off your Thanksgiving dinner (and black Friday turkey sandwiches) with the annual LoveOly WinterFest Presented by WSECU and the Olympia Downtown Alliance to properly kick off Downtown for the Holidays! festivities.
ten, 15 minutes ago talking to business owners and they were saying the last two days they ve been without business and it s really starting to affect them. they were expecting all this traffic from the concerts and people coming to events. that s all been shut down because people don t want o cto come downtown, they don t want to deal with this. a lot of the protesters were so close to ferguson. the idea that some of this has still not healed from the situation with michael brown. there are people really angry about this. pt protests remained peaceful for most of the evening and around nighttime it turned and it got pretty ugly. several officers were injured. hope fli hopefully we not looking at another night of confrontations. earlier in the hour we heard from that officer that was acquitted.
