Shutdown Day #5 - “Parks and Rec” are wrecked.
San Francisco Fleet Week not cancelled but scaled back:
Even with the
federal government shutdown, San Francisco's popular annual Fleet Week will still go on, though in a scaled-back form.
The original headliners, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, are currently on pause but not officially canceled. Organizers say if Congress approves a budget soon, the Blue Angels and other branches of the U.S. military could still join the festivities.
Many waterfront businesses are relieved the event isn't completely scrapped, calling Fleet Week one of their most profitable times of the year. Still, some are bracing for smaller crowds.
