Likely the most mis-educated city in America; keep voting the Marxists into power.

“Re-imagined” is essentially “transformed” - the important thing isn’t what will happen, it’s what won’t.

>>These people think they’re gods, I wish someone would hold an illegal parade on the same day with massive turn out, what an a$$whole that guy is<<

Just put “blm” on the sides of the lead car and BOOM — no parade permit needed and you have run of nyc.

He praised Macy’s for successfully adapting its Fourth of July fireworks display

They still celebrate July 4th in NYC? I thought they considered it racist.

Since NYC was formerly New Amsterdam, so perhaps the parade could hire a number of “Zwarte Piet” - the Dutch Santa’s “Moorish” helpers - to escort the parade?

Ever notice how much DeBlasio looks like Shaky the Mohel from Seinfeld?

Virtual events suck. They are a necessary evil for work and business and will totally flop as a voluntary, not needed event.

Way to destroy a city Mayor Warren Wilhelm Jr. (De Blasio is his assumed name)

In NYC you need to get a permit to hold an event that closed streets. Hey could probably call it a “protest” and hold it anyway, but the Macy’s parade requires even more government approval than necessary for an important reason: the NYC Dept. of Transportation has to rotate the overhead traffic signals aside at every intersection along the route in order to accommodate the giant balloons.

Proving he is incompetent to even lead a parade.

Re virtual events so true, the ladies organizing our church retreat said they’d do a virtual one this fall...I tried not be negative but inside I was like, that’s as appealing as watching a virtual garden grow...no interest.

Haven’t heard anything more about it. I hope they don’t waste their time putting it together.

I feel sorry for the small minority of NY voters who didn’t support this chump for mayor.

That said, I hope all the people who voted for him are miserable right now.

In a separate story with possible implications here, a Federal Judge has just found all of PA Governor Wolf’s lockdown restrictions to be unconstituional.

Macy’s would be disappointed but for the fact they will be in bankruptcy before Thanksgiving.

He granted a waiver for the MTV awards. And that was inside. He should do the same for the parade.

Don’t more people go out for protests?

Also, how do you catch COVID while riding a float?

I know. WAY too much of that sh*t during the formerly wholesome Thanksgiving Day Parade over the past few years!

Still... overall I'm really sad to see this iconic parade had to be cancelled.
