USA 250, Parma 200

Small boy bubbling up the side street by St. Charles.

Parma is celebrating 200 years.

Some time ago, Parma accepted the pink flamingo jokes; it did not come right away. It is now a mascot.

There are two flamingo statues mounted in Parma. They are both the second at their locations, previous ones were stolen, and broken. Here the remainder of one is floating.

Don't have an answer. Looks fun. 

Now what i believe should be in every Independence Day Parade: the three guys from the Spirit of  '76 painting, Statue of Liberty (and her friend Lady Justice), Uncle Sam, marching bands, of course if the weather is amiable — dogs and horses, old cars are neat. The weather has been brutal this week, it was not so bad this morning, but i was feeling it, and left early.  I read that Philadelphia, and DC cancelled their parades, but american nazis paraded through Washington DC, after all their boys are in charge.

Normally, comic book heroes don't show up, but this one should.

Because, Liberty is not well.

It is always great to see dogs. This is Nitro, he is 14% German Shepard. Just coming into adulthood. Nitro is happy, and well behaved.

The little fellow is Dallas.

Guessing 1957 Chevy Bel Air.

Guessing 1954 Chevy Bel Air.

A hospital was in the parade, and they sent one of their life flight copters to go back and forth.
