here in st Augustine FL we have a population of around 15,000 and yet we got a 1000 out for the rally during working hours.
so if it were on the weekend or after work I guarantee there would have been more like my wife would have been able to make it and her friends too.

most car passing were honking which was a good sign even many tourists

all in all a good day
