Another thing about Philly...Spent New Years eve 1967 in Tun Tavern II on the base...Had about 5/4ths too much beer...
We staggered into downtown Philly New Years Day and I thought I was hallucinating!!! There were people marching with the most outlandish, colorful costumes ever....
First time I had ever heard of Mummer’s Parade, much less saw one...LOL
lol...safe bet that most of the Mummers were as drunk as you were. ;~)
