Great job covering this wonderful tradition. Your pictures and tips are great for those who are familiar with this great day and those who are not.
When I go to watch the parade, I usually go down to Washington Park. I kinda like the backdrop of the old Lutheran church there.
Wussed out this year due to rain, tho.
The staging area north of the Market is kinda fun, too.
If you go there on a bicycle, it is easier to get in more of the parade route.
