I took the train to work today and it was purple and gold all the way. They were waiting for busses, riding trains, decked out in Lakers colors, it was a beautiful thing. The parade used to go by my office near 5th and Fig, now it goes south of me but no matter. I think the whole affair went pretty well.

Somebody sold a lot of Laker jerseys. Those are recession proof.

So would this happen if the Dodgers won the World Series in a few months?
I think it would be great for LA

Official police estimates for the crowds on the streets is about 250,000.
Lets say 100,000 at the stadium too...
= 350,000


Pretty small for a city the size of LA, don'tcha think? Where was everyone at??

The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup this year. Police estimates for the crowd were 375,000, in a city MUCH smaller than LA.

Someone on the news tonight called LA the "city of champions" ??

Um, yeah, right.

Got two words for you:
Steelers.
Penguins.

We were all at work... if they had the parade on the weekend attendance would have been off the charts.
