Sorry to rain on your parade…

February 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments

The New York Times reports that the NYC police department is ordering that parades be shortened in order to save taxpayer money! Sounds likeĀ  a good idea to me…

Interestingly it seems its not the length of the Parade that matters most to people. The Macy’s Day Parade on Thanksgiving is actually just about 2 hours, making it a small hog of police resources, even though it is arguably the biggest parade event associated with New York.

So sometimes less is more!

    Novel way to save taxpayers money – less fun! How about no movie previews either?:)

    Why in the heading photo you have a photo of what looks like the Futon Fish Market in Lower Manhattan? This is the Gowanus lounge as in Brooklyn but I gues you dont tend to honor that idea. RIP Bob Guskind.
