I thought the parade would take the same route as last year when it ended after passing a reviewing stand on State St by Passaic St, which I can see from my apartment.
When I got up today, I looked for the stand, but it was too foggy to see anything. By 10am, there was still no reviewing stand, so I went back to look at the ads: "Stepping off on Main St", it said.
Duh!
But from which end? I was hoping it was from my (northern) end, so I could take some cell shots and be back home in time for the Giants game. Hearing the music around noon told me I got my wish.
I started taking pictures from Ward and Main while walking toward the Sears parking lot, which was the staging area.
Picture 1: First shot of the day - smiling cops on horseback

Picture 2: The poor girls who had to clean up behind the horses with a super pooper scooper

Picture 3: Is that Bullwinkle with a new wardrobe?
Pictures 4-6: In the Sears parking lot
Picture 7: Cool old Maywood fire vehicle waiting on Clinton Pl near Holy Trinity Church
Picture 8: Parade in (southerly) motion
Picture 9: On the way back to my apartment (background), I came across this poor guy (making a call in the street), who had some car problems and had to pull off onto Ward St. An hour after I saw the end of the parade go by, I also saw his car being taken away.

I went home and had the pictures downloaded before kickoff, so everything worked out well.............and the Giants are kicking KC butt.
