One of the great things about having a private street is that you can close it whenever you want. That’s exactly what the residents of Carlsbadistan’s Nautical Drive did on Independence Day.
They didn’t close it for a parade. They closed it so they could use they could throw a small block party: get a jumper for the kids, pull the patio furniture out into the street, and have dinner with their friends and neighbors.
Sitting out in the middle of the street with a cool drink in our hand, surrounded by good company made us realize just how annoying traffic is on our streets, and how nice it is to close them down every once in a while just because.
It was a happy 4th of July, indeed. Click the jump for a couple more photos.
Private streets where just made for this stuff.
