Default business's that hurt

Hotels, food chains, etc. benifit.
Local contractors hurt, resident's in the area hurt. Contractors can't get to the job site. More and more I meet residents within a 5 miles of the Weirs that are either forced to leave town or are held at home because it's just not worth the time it takes to go out and return unless they go out befor the traffic starts.
The Friday before the event started it took me 1/2 hour to drive from Sunset Bay to Weirs Crossing. Normally a 5 minute ride. Traffic was backed up as far as you could see from every direction coming into the Weirs.
