What’s the deal with #19? Is that a group of prison inmates? I love this parade though, I’ll be there with tap-boots on.
@Graham ST: Your humble neighborhood editor is thrilled to be judging the parade for the second year in a row, so I will be looking for you & your tap boots!
You forgot Lottie’s/Andaluz!
I’m loving the hydroplane racing group named ‘our gang’. Somehow I’ don’t think they had the local Rainier Beach gangstas in mind when they named it…
Oh – I think #37 Speakeasy is actually Lottie’s/Andaluz
Still, all the the other buisness’ and orgs are mentioned by their names–not their themes!Speakeasy does nothing to promote our business. I would like to see a correction!
@Karla: We published the list as we received it from the Rainier Chamber. Please submit your correction request directly to editor@rainiervalleypost.com. Thanks.
@ Karla
You could at lease be nice about it….sheesh!
