Beautiful thinking, Rhodes and co.
We have enough parades in the former downtown area.
Nothing is ever open down there anyway--at least for the masses.
Go op Central to Sunset, then feed into a festival.
Or Smith park--have a parade end at Douglas park.
Have an enjoyable reason to participate and follow it through.
Have the parades be a beginning to a fun-filled day--we see it everywhere else.

Can we finally become ONE town again instead of competing pockets?
Counter-productive IMO.

da120757, I have a suggestion that isn't mine, but I've heard it mentioned by others.  I do appreciate anyone that takes the time to volunteer to put these parades together, so please do not take this as being overly critical.

The downtown area already has the Memorial Day Parade and a Christmas parade.  I believe the high school does a Homecoming parade as well.  The people on the east side of town never have any parades or festivities.  The suggestion is to start the parade at the Middletown Area Senior Center or at the old Wilson Elementary where there are ample parking areas to prep.  Have the parade run down Central Ave. to either the old Roosevelt vacated lot area or hang a right on Kenwood and end the parade at Sunset Park.  Your group can team up with some of the local churches to plan activities at Sunset Park for the kids.

The way it is now, as others have said, the parade just reverses what was done on Memorial Day, just a month earlier.  There's no real purpose in the 4th of July Parade as it is now.  Its original intent when it went from Kittyhawk Plaza to MHS was a promotion of the All American Weekend, so it had a purpose.  Now it's just a big dud after it ends at Smith Park with nothing more to do.

I'm sure at this late date it would be difficult to put a festival at Sunset together, but with social media and the newspaper, there's still enough time to move it to Central Ave.  Just something a little different and on the other side of town would be a boost to the city, even if just in a small way.

I wonder if Factguy has thought about dialing back on the caffeine.

Presta, the picture was put up to see how all you naysayers would try to find fault- it worked. There was no text. A question was asked where was the parade, when there was nothing that even had text indicating were it was. Next, someone asked date. That led to simple text, 61. You wasted 30 minutes researching year made, checking conspiracy. Point made, plant a trial balloon, and the wild theories and claims come to front. Strange you talk about facts, call Doug Adkins a liar, and he is promoted. Discredited, busted Presta. The graveyard of failed politicians.

Sorry again, FactlessGuy, but my glasses are just fine and, unlike you, I have a firm grip on the FACTS!!!

Once again, the car in the picture that YOU submitted is NOT a 1961 Corvette as YOU claimed it was.   The grille and other front end features ( the chrome letters "C-O-R-V-E-T-T-E" and the crossed flags emblem) are all wrong. You obviously didn't own the car in the picture (as YOU claimed that you did) or you would've known what year 'Vette it was.  

What else do you lie about??? 

It's hard to argue with the TRUTH!!!

Come on Rhodes, everyone at city hall should be in jail according to most for breaking the law, with no facts, Duke bills paid by city, kick backs, back room deals. Double standard. Isn't HUD vouchers supposed to be gone in Middletown today, next week, next month, a year from now. Spinning is all it is.

You don't seem to understand what a conspiracy theory is.  It's something that sounds almost believable if you remove a lot of reason.  It's not a conspiracy theory when it is a fact and easily provable.

Thanks for quoting my old posts.  That was a fun one.  Must have been the last time you were caught.  Oh, now see what I just did?  That would be a conspiracy, yet not that much of a stretch!

Wrong Rhodes. Just put a picture up, no text.

' Apparently my post on March 2nd flew right over some of your heads.  I already uncovered the FRAUD of the FAKE tunnel photo and posted the original image itself.

Mr. Presta, the "Nice find" pat on the head should have been given to me.  I'm surprised you slipped on that one, you're usually more thorough"

True Detective readers LOL.

Only a nut job would get caught in another lie and say they were just testing the waters.  Right click on both photos.  I didn't upload either one.  They're both from USA Today/Reuters.  Must be where your friend works.

Rhodes, you proved the point how musa is full of conspiracy theories. All it took was copying a google image, and bam, here the conspiracy nuts come. You got the back-end off google image, same as I pulled front just to see how long someone would pounce. The second car is a 1961. Nice photoshop of the google image R. Shooting fish in barrel.

Love the palm trees.  Must be the Lebanon parade!

The photos are from the Cocoa Beach Astronaut Corvette Parade on May 7, 2011.  The man in this particular corvette is Astronaut Scott Carpenter, who died last October.

Once a nut job, always a nut job.

Corvette had multiple dates (twice) for the same body type. A 1960 design, could have a manufacturer year date of 61. Very little changed in the four years this model was out, the front grille was about it, and the signature on hood and the signature flags. I believe the engine size was same for all four years. The grille could also be retrofit from 57-58 to later years through 62. Body design same as 58-61, with a manufacturing date through 62.
