Rock on, Westfield! You got hammered by rain right at the beginning of your Westfield Rocks the 4th festival, but that did nothing to dampen the spirits of anyone there. People ran back to cars or gathered under tents during the storm. Then vendors wiped water off the tables, set out their wares again, and the party went on like nothing happened. Now THAT is the most quintessential American thing we’ve seen in a long time: a community spirit undeterred.
