I took a slew of fotos to-day. There are several annual parades about Cleveland Ohio. This is the largest, and that means the most popular. To-day it did not exceed freezing, last year it was a record high. The crowds were about half.

One street towards the lake is Rockwell. That was the old China Town, very little remains. There faded on the brick, and besmudged with what i reckon is roofing tar, is painted "Welcome to China Town".
This sign of t-shirt shop needs paint touch up, the advertising copy has been updated, but that is not interesting.
This year's theme was immigration to America, and it must be remembered that America was not a welcoming land of milk and honey. And when the Émigrés did come they found N.I.N.A. signs. That spirit is still part of the American spirit.
Cleveland's last daily paper, and it may no longer be a daily. Decision in May?
