Change is good. The new route of the Park Slope Halloween Parade was a roaring success. On Third Street anyway. Third Street dwellers enjoyed their front row seats for the parade. I for one sat inside our gated front yard and watched the entire parade from start to finish.
It was partytime for the grown ups and kids on Third Street.
And what a parade it was! I actually got to see the skaters with the long arms and white grim reaper faces. I got to see Paprika and all the big puppets. I saw Marty Markowitz, Chuck Schumer and other local pols.
And then there was Gersh Kuntzman's float. Dressed as Miss Brooklyn, he made quite a splash with a microphone…
As usual, the parade started on 14th Street and Seventh Avenue but this year for the first time, marchers made a sharp left onto Third Street and walked to JJ Byrne Park at Fifth Avenue.
I agree, it was a great parade! I love living on 3rd St., but never more than I did last night!
Oh, and Miss Brooklyn was the highlight for me.
And the North Slope was totally cut out of the parade. Best Halloween Parade ever!
