All aboard! The View From the Float

My photographer and I are loaded on the top deck of an upper decker sitting at the intersection of 20th St. and JFK.

The view, even from here, is hard to fathom and it's because of the Phillies World Series win.

People are everywhere: To the south people are everywhere -- Lining the sidewalks dozens deep.

And, it may be Halloween, but in Center City Philadelphia it is a sea of red.

I can't even imagine what Broad Street is going to look like.

I think I'm beginning to understand why people who experienced 1980 said it took days for the parade's events to finally sink in.
