Midtown Parade of Lights gets slow first start

The parade consisted primarily of theme cars of which many had no discernible theme other than a few Christmas lights. However, Yogurtagogo was obvious in its frozen theme as it ran the streets getting a few quick looks at its blatant advertisement disguised in Christmas cheer. Sports cars, a hummer, a truck full of Christmas characters followed by some costumed individuals handing out free samples, ladies with lighted parasols, and a troop of beautiful horses and horse riders cruised the streets in the name of Midtown Parade of Lights. It was fun - of a sort - but not precisely brilliant with a grand population of lights and floats. According to some watchers, the parade had a fuller spectrum of offerings with majorettes and floats but there were quite a few people down on L and neighboring streets waiting for evidence of these aspects of the parade. 

Perhaps this was meant to be a float . . . float or not, some people were clearly enjoying their part in the Midtown Parade of Lights. Photo by Susan Raines
