Memorial Day Parade 2013

63 formerly 77

Made my annual trek to 63 formerly 77 to photograph the parade. The crowd was sparse. Most parade viewers seem to prefer to watch from downtown.

The politicians and their families queued before the marchers stepped off. State Senator John A. DeFrancisco in center with a drink in his hand.
