NO MAYHEM, BUT STILL A SUCCESS


The prevailing sentiment around Philadelphia is that the 103rd Mummers Parade, held on Broad Street yesterday, was a resounding success, or at least an improvement over the festivities of the past several years.


Alas, Ronnie, there was no mayhem, and yet spectators managed to enjoy themselves nonetheless, aided more than anything, I suspect, by the weather: sunny, low 50s, and light breezes.


Both the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News offer plenty of parade coverage today. A good place to start, especially to catch a few good photos set up as a slide show, is Bullish on Broad St.,” by Michael Currie Schaffer in the Inquirer.
