Patriots on Parade

patriots_parade_2_2004.jpgToday the New England Patriots take to the streets in Boston’s own Duck Tour boats for the championship parade. This will be Boston’s second World Championship parade within five months, but complacency is not setting in. All the speak of a new dynasty in football gets us excited to bring the Lombardi trophy home more often, with more parades. The Patriots will roll down Boylston Street starting around Copley Square and turn onto Tremont Street at Boston Common. There are a number of MBTA subway stops that will get you up to see some action. The festivities start at 11 a.m. this morning and will continue until the Duck Tour boats hit Stanford Street in Beacon Hill.

There’s no party at the City Hall Plaza like there was in 2002 and 2004 after the Patriots Super Bowl win. They’re adopting the popular Red Sox style parade, we don’t imagine that they’ll be sporting the brooms for the “sweep” like the Sox did. It will be a little colder this time around, the Red Sox parade saw 50° days and today Boston will be lucky to hit 40°. Bring your Pats hats.

Sully Celebration in title town today, should be some sweet crowd shots of dudes in Jean Shorts no matter what the temperature is.

Caught the parade as I was dashing from Back Bay station to Hynes stop (crossing Boylston was not an option). Saw them all in their glory...yelled Bruschi at the top of my lungs. Yeah, Jean Shorts are so passe (and everywhere).

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.

I've managed to save up roughly $17065 in my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?

I can't believe it, my co-worker just bought a car for $70815. Isn't that crazy!
