EVERYONE loves a parade, right? Maybe not, as one long time reader hinted last week – it (the Halloween Parade) was really (over)crowded last year (2022). Well actually she said it was a ( )show, expletive deleted. Which I couldn’t help thinking might also apply to Saturday’s event on The Oval, given the stroller gridlock. Of course maybe I’m hearkening back to a time when there were fewer towers and LIC still seemed like a small neighborhood. I like to hearken, and those days may have passed, but there’s still no lack of need for the next generation to take up the reins and build on what their forefathers from a decade ago built on. Right now we seem to be on cruise control.

KIDS in LIC get a trick for Halloween this year, as a hallowed tradition seems to have laid fallow in 2023. We’re talking about the Annual Halloween Parade along Vernon Boulevard. Not sure what happened or why, maybe the powers-that-be deemed the kids unworthy this year?
