Thanksgiving Day parades

[flaglerlion]

Maybe I am old school, but does anyone watch the parades anymore, since they don't actually show the parade, just the performances? I guess I am the minority, since the tv execs. must be showing what we want to see.

I agree. They only show these performances, and half are to prerecorded music. Just a 3 hour advertisement. I'd much rather watch marching bands, drum and bugle corps, and bagpipers.

I am OK with what they do. With so many other things going on I can only catch glimpses.

Used to get free tickets at the Macy's judging stand on Herald as. A friend was a Macy's security director. But just took another job. Just went to a few in my lifetime. Just meyhem.

I watch for as long as I can take the vapid network parade anchors, which is to say about 20 minutes or so.

Macy's parade is a Thanksgiving day tradition. But Philly thanksgiving day parade is the oldest, at 98 years.

I am sure I heard them say this was the debut of the Grinch balloon. How is that even possible?

Any word on the condition of Woody the Woodpecker after passing by Tim Whatley's residence?
