Default Lindale Park 4th of July Parade.

I have to give credit to who ever it is that organizes this thing. It is not your standard little neighborhood parade, they really go all out. They get Politicos, local businesses and Churches, car clubs, schools, everyone involved.

Nothing kicks it off like a Harley club, I guess no one was going to argue with them if they wanted to go first!










Grand Marshall Gene Greene


Sheila Jackson Lee


It wouldn't be the 4th of July without....bagpipes?


Sylvia Garcia


Adrian Garcia


Sue Lovell in the middle






Gene Locke










Some Judges showed up too


Ave CDC, which develops affordable housing in the north side


Metro's entry, an antique bus






Did Santa come out for the 4th?












The Art cars came out in force


















And in the midst of it, came the roller girls


Take your Tiki bar with you wherever you go




The parade loops the boulevard, with people gathering in whatever shady spots they could find, or create.


Knapp Chevy's entry








A couple of army Helicopters overhead










Did that banner say funeral home?


I guess so, love em for participating, but um...no, I'll pass on the candy you're passing out!


I guess Mom & Dad let you get a red, white & blue mohawk just for this?




A Corvette club






A Professional wrestler I think


Classic Chevy club












Here comes the low riders
















Recycling group


and that was the end!

I thought I read the other day that other than Pride we don't have any sort of events or anything here in Houston. I should stop believing everything I read. Maybe I'll just look at pictures instead.

Sweet. Trying to work up the will to go out later myself...

Cute parade until (and of course), the lovely Sheila Jackson Lee wearing her trademark scowl. She looks thrilled to be participating - the energy she used hanging onto that flag while maintaining that consistently p-o'd expression. Why does she always look so irritable?

Being on Capitol Hill.

I could totally understand.
