11.06.09 - pandemonium erupted in downtown manhattan today. the yankees victory parade drew in thousands of fans to line the streets from battery park to city hall. i work about a block away from broadway or as it was referred to today as the "canyon of heroes". i had to figure out an alternate route in order to get to work. my plan worked because i later found out that other co-workers had a heck of a time trying to cross broadway to get to our office. between the barricades, throngs of fans, and security check points, it was difficult to say the least navigating all that.
around 11:30 am, a couple of us decided to check out the parade. i had mentally prepared myself for a mob but was surprised to find the people in the spot we were at were relatively well-behaved. some memorable parts of the day included seeing balconies and window lined with people. shoot, there were even folks brave enough to stand on ledges to catch a view. workers in offices along the route throwing any type of paper out their windows -- you name it... shredded paper, staff meeting notes, fax cover sheets. the green part of me cringed! there were also a ton of kids out. i guess their parents weren't the only ones playing hooky. haha.
What a great picture. I love your concept of Project 365. I am doing one too, I did ok till the first 150 days or so... and then I fell off the bus.
