There were rumors that it wouldn’t happen this year, some sort of infighting or some budget issues with the Neighborhood Council. But it looks like something was figured out because it did go on as usual. (Sadly, that wasn’t the case for this years East LA Xmas parade, it didn’t happen.)
So yeah, I went.
Great coverage, as always. So funny I am laughing like a crazy person at work.
Que triste – this is the first year I miss the desfile.
Loved the photos of Santa waiting in line…. and getting out!
Good coverage and Great commentary 😉
F’n awesome!!! Once again I was more entertained by your parade coverage then the parade itself.
btw- I got pics of Norky! 🙂
Gracias!
my favorite neighborhood observer of NELA, always entertaining.
Was really looking forward to this! An important part of my holiday season. Thanks!!!
I really hope that when Bobby Castillo dies they mummify him like Lenin and bring him out once a year for the parade. Cause like you said, it just wouldn´t be an Eastside parade without him.
