ChrisL Posted January 2 Share #3 Posted January 2 My mom loved the Rose Parade and we went often as a child. Honestly I hated going… Sleeping in the street, (I don’t even remember where we went to the bathroom) & freezing my ass off all night only to get crowded by late comers. I do remember floats would often drop flowers and my mom would send my brother & I out to get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby ★ Posted January 2 Author Share #4 Posted January 2 I don't think I would have enjoyed sleeping out either, but it is fun to watch. But they're just starting the mid-parade act and that is a terrible addition. Floats, horses, bands - YES, bad singers- NO. At least the singer in the opening act was from Pasadena. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local CW channel in NY had the commercial free coverage from KTLA (the local LA station) . It was almost as good as the old HGTV coverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
