★★★ · And here comes another float! · Spuzz · 2012-05-31
Grand parade here celebrating Detroit's 200th Anniversary. You don't see parades like this anymore, floats about anything and everything, different points in history, companies you name it. Sort of gets monotonous, actually, but it's alright.
