Every year my Chicago neighborhood, Sauganash, has a Fourth of July parade and every year I post the pictures I took of it. My neighbors gather to watch the parade.
The parade starts at Sauganash Park and comes right up my street. It’s led by a police car.
This year the police car was followed by two firetrucks, all with sirens blaring deafeningly.
Then came the local Boy Scout Troop.
There were classic cars, variously decorated for the occasion.
Local businesses also took part, including my beloved Happy Foods.
When I wrote “variously decorated” above I meant it.
But mostly and as I write every year, “parade” is a verb. There are many more of my neighbors marching in the parade than there are watching it.
And the 2017 Sauganash Fourth of July parade is over.
You appear to live in such a quaint, yesteryear kind of neighborhood. It’s hard to believe such a place even exists anymore!
