This year?s Mifflin Street Block Party is sounding less and less like a party. City officials say there now will be no food vendors at the party to facilitate policing and lessen the draw after violence and excessive drinking at last year?s event brought calls for an end to the 42-year tradition. Among those not showing up this year will be UW-Madison Police, whose officers assisted in some past years at the annual drinkfest marking the end of the school year for UW-Madison students.
