Raining On My Parade

[Jolly]

Still, a great parade.

Kudos to Macey's and NYC...

Indeed it is.

I keep trying to post a pic (too large), but I was at 56th and Broadway. I'm visiting my daughter. I didn't know anyone in the parade, years ago I used to, but the fault is mine not theirs.

Ah, missed it here in Atlanta. Actually I’m a few hundred yards from Stone Mountain.

When I lived in NY, occasionally we’d go the night before (or was it morning of?) and watch them inflate the floats.

When I lived in the city I lived in Cityspire on 56th (hence the "good old days".) I was between 6th and 7th. It was fine of you wanted to see the parade, but if I wanted get my car which was parked on 55th between 8th and 9th while the parade was going on, I had to go to Columbus Circle go down into the subway and buy a ticket and then cross under Broadway to get to the west side and go out to get my car.

I marched down 5th Ave. in the high school band in 1969 on Saint Patrick's Day.

They painted the line in the middle of the street green.

We watched the 1969 Rockettes Easter Show at Radio City. I watched them do the same (almost) routine just now in the Macy's parade.
