Springfield Grove Guest Posts: n/a	Toronto Santa Claus Parade What is the best spot (least crowded, good vantage point) for watching today's parade? And, no, I don't mean from the comfort of your couch. Thx. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =-----

H Lem Guest Posts: n/a	Re: Toronto Santa Claus Parade Greetings The parade definitely brings back memory. I used to watch the parade from the window where my dad worked just before the end of the parade at the old eaton's parking lot (where city hall is now). When I was older and driving a cab, I would watch the parade's floats come down to the Bloor Street starting point at 6 am from my cab. This gave me a whole new perspective on the parade.

You can file this away for next year. Least crowded -- Almost all of the route is packed. but I'd guess that somewhere on Bloor Street might be good. (Unfortunately, there isn't much room due to the narrow sidewalks. The other place I can think of is on Yonge Street from Richmond down to Front. Most crowded will be at the top end of University and Queens Park Cres where there is/are temporary bleacher seating. The TV crews are also in this area, so you will hear all the bands playing for television. To get a good vantage point, you've got to get there early! I think the following locations are among the best. From the top of the northmost bleacher. At the top of Queens Park Cres (on the war memorial) as the road bends. On the Median strip at the top of University AVe. Other intersections where the parade route changes streets. > And, no, I don't mean from the comfort of your couch. btw. if you want to watch the parade again, it will air on CBS?? during the US Thanksgiving day celebrations. > Thx.
