I agree with Waters. I've lived/worked in Hampden for thirty years so I guess I'm at least vulnerable to the charge of being an angry middle-aged man. HonFest has always struck me as patronizing; more importantly, the public input/output of beer is aggravating to those of us who live in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, this is another event that seems about pleasing the commercial interests that are driving working-class people out of the neighborhood.
