I have a house on Galveston Bay (not on Galveston Island) & I have seen it & I don't know why the city of Galveston allows it to happen. Most of the business close up for 2 days, many of the residence leave for 2 days. Its a nightmare. If anyone complains about it they are called racist. It began as a frat. party, then was sponsored by a radio station. I am not sure but I think it took on a life of its own & it just happens. The city closed many streets & made others one way to control the traffic because the city became grid locked. I don't know what they did this year. I have heard some stories of sex acts in public that would shock & amaze you.

This used to happen to us here in Atlanta - and the question of "why do they allow it?" can only be answered by the question of "how do you stop it?" - 250,000 kids come cruising into town - total gridlock on the streets - what do you expect the cops to do about that? Here, after several years of experience, the police basically shut down the streets - blocked intersections, off ramps on the interstate, closed large sections of downtown - so that "crusing" could not occur. Of course, it was a major hassle for the residents, as well. But, eventually, it became less and less "fun" for the participants, and moved on.
