The post parade market is quite lucrative.
You used to be able to see the parade floats after for free. I went with my dad once to try, no parking -10 bucks a spot and three to get into the area.
A few years ago it's ? to park, 10 to get in and they strip the flowers, package them as potpourri and sell them for some jacked up price.
The float 'steel' and forms are recycled.

Cold concrete on hemorrhoids is usually a good reason to skip a parade.

I'm feeling kind of un-American here, since parades, especially if they're lengthy, tend to bore me. I like the little hometown parades with the local fire companies and school bands - just short enough. I've never managed to watch the Rose Parade all the way through, and the only time I paid any real attention to it was the year back in high school when our school band was in it.
And the Mummers Parade in Philadelphia - 12 hours!- no way. This year the city cut funding so the parade was shortened to just over 6 hours. That's still at least 5 hours more than I could handle!

I remember that - the year was 1960. Does that date us?Originally Posted by pomtzu

You got it!!! I wasn't in the band, but had friends that were. It was such a BIG deal and was I ever envious! And in 1961 they were in the Inaugural Parade too. We may have been Little Rhody - but we were good!!!
I guess our age is no secret anymore!
