Parades Go By

Happy Chinese New Year. I live by Argyle, which is Chicago’s northside Chinatown but this year I traveled down south to the other Chinatown, which I have only been to a very few times as it is at least an hour each way by el. I tend to love parades just as much as I love roller coasters. It makes me excited to see kids throwing down snapper toys and eating cotton candy and waving from floats. It reminds me of when I was a kid.

These are the best parts of the parade.

    i’ll have to reciprocate, the next time i’m in DC’s chinatown on a warm-ish day.
    sadly, i’m not even sure if DC has a chinese new years parade – but i’ll find out

    some festivities are also happening this weekend. You should check the paper and you might find something.

    I really really love parades.
