briguy 0 #1 May 2, 2006 my drive to work yesterday seemed shorter. my work garbage can was promptly emptied at 4:30pm. i went to the produce store, there were plenty of people stocking fruit and working the cash registers. when i got home, my grass was freshly cut (i have an association). no negative impact for me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #2 May 2, 2006 It impacted my food! The restaurant I went to for lunch was closed because they didn't get their delivery. The place I went to for dinner only had about 1/3 of their menu because they didn't get their delivery either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #3 May 2, 2006 There's not many immigrant workers where I live, so there was no affect here. I felt myself getting angry though, watching this on the tube. So, it did affect how I felt.....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #4 May 2, 2006 I know we only live a few miles apart, but I spent most of the day out and driving through many suburbs. Traffic was better and I noticed nothing different, except a few mexican restaurants were closed and a carniciera or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justinb138 0 #7 May 2, 2006 There was a protest? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #8 May 2, 2006 I ate a gyro. They even gave us coupons for another one free sometime in the near future. Therefore, immigration protests = free greek sandwiches There's always an upside. ...

Broke 0 #12 May 3, 2006 Something happened? Oh yeah I remeber watching the news and they said something about it.
