Concert at Bayliss Park

Tonight's free event was the first of Council Bluff's "Music in the Park" series.  The band was Stan Galli & Stuff and I think their name pretty-well describes what type of music you'd expect.  Music from the 50's, 60's and a few other random songs thrown in.  As always, you get what you pay for.  They were at least well rehearsed and played their songs well.  Kennedy enjoyed dancing to the music so what more could you want?

Now about the Bluffs.  I can honestly count the number of times I've been to Council Bluffs on one hand.  I however, cannot count the number of times I've made fun of "Counciltucky".  With that said, I was pleasantly surprised by Bayliss park and the downtown Bluffs area.  It reminded me of the picturesque small town squares, think Stars Hollow.  Downtown Council Bluffs is a very cute area and a place I would actually like to visit again.  I will not take back any of the negative things I've said about the rest of the city... they are still true.

Things I learned about this event: 

1. Bring a chair, there are not many public benches that face the band shell. 
2. Bring food and something to drink.  There was a surprising lack of food vendors so if you didn't bring it, you feel really awkward eating it.
3. Parking is actually really easy but there are currently some odd detours on HWY 6... why must every bridge in the Bluffs be redecorated by a crazy person?

Actual Cost: Since there was nothing to buy, I did quite well in this department.  $0.00
