Putting down Nostalgia Days won't bring Scoop the Loop back.
There are two reasons (in my opinion) why the Scoop is gone. First is beer sales. While 99% of the attendees can enjoy a beer or two with no problem, the remaining 1% turn into drunken a-holes and ruin it for the rest of us. Secondly I know many of the Nostalgia Days committee members and they have one goal, to try and put on the best event possible. There are no politicians or politics involved. While there are several city employees, including the police chief, and, I believe, one alderman, on the committee, they are all volunteers, the city does not spend any money on this event. I have been told that Nostalgia Days pays the city for the police to assist. Maybe someone should ask them how they do it.
