The South Pasadena celebration of the Fourth of July traditionally starts with a pancake breakfast, followed by a parade, and then in the evening, fireworks.
And there is always an “Uncle Sam” character in the parade. This year–2018–was no different.
No evidence of the hilarious #secondcivilwar that had dominated Twitter on July 2nd and 3rd. Just family fun. The most political thing I saw were dignitaries in 2 cars carrying signs reading “Families Belong Together”
Here is what else I saw at the South Pasadena Fourth of July parade.
