I was pleased to see a 4th of July Parade flyer in Palio, a favorite cafe of mine, located in Ladd’s Addition, one of my favorite neighborhoods in Southeast Portland. What I missed (it actually wasn’t on the flyer) was that this was going to be a kids’ parade.
I enjoyed myself as much as a non-parent could in such a situation. I asked a young man, Alexander Harding, to share his photos with me, so I might have something to show for my morning. You can find his amazing photos (and not just of the parade) at appcookie.com.
