Looked a like major block party. Wonder how long it took to clean everything. The parade had a bigger turnout than I expected. Looked a like major block party.

It looked like it was a lot of fun. Too bad I wasn't able to make it. I am glad they had the parade. It looked like it was a lot of fun. Too bad I wasn’t able to make it.

I'm guessing small businesses (restaurants and bars) would be the biggest winners. These businesses need lots of staff so you're getting large numbers of people working. The great part about this line of thinking is that politicians can justify pretty much any spending bill because of it.
