How do you get into resettis house on animal crossing

You can only visit Resetti's house in City Folk.
To get to his house, you need to go to the city after 8:00 pm on any day of the week. When you get off the bus you do not go up to the Plaza, but keep rnning right on the pavement. The traffic cones will be gone, but this only works sometimes. This means that his house is not open every day.
