The last several days may rebrand sleepy Lompoc as De Happenin’ Place.
The week’s big event was No Kings, Saturday’s sequel to Lompoc Indivisible’s street theater series mocking the slash-and-burn policies of the President of the United States. Far from showing shrinkage from previous showings April 5 and 19, this version appearing at H and Central was larger still and bore signs for growing even more.
Gone are the days of empty corners. Fifty people populated the two corners on the west side of H, a hundred on the South East credit union corner, and at least 150 at the North East shopping center corner featuring the lending library for placards and the bubble machine. Maybe 400 total at one time and more counting late comers and early departures.
