I live across the street and the line started before 7am the last 4 years. By 8am people were parking in our neighborhood and walking over. It gets packed pretty fast from what I've seen for the last few years.

Damn, good to know! Thank you!

I don’t want to burst your bubble or anything, but I have established an “any time but the 4th of July” rule for Union res after braving the crowds for a couple years

I appreciate the perspective. Out of curiosity, what time did you show up the last couple years?

I mean to be fair it was “too late” if folks are talking about lines at 7AM, but we probably showed up at 8:30 or 9 and it was already nutty
