Roslindale turned out for the annual Roslindale Day Parade today. Marching bands marched, politicians politicked and, at least where we were, everbody seemed to have a good time:

Pretty much any pol running for office that doesn't involve replacing Ted Kennedy made the Roslindale Day parade today. Here are pictures of them all. Above: At-large City Council candidate Ayanna Pressley exhorting us to "make some noise, Roslindale!" Aside from three girls who screamed excitedly for almost everybody, though, we kinda didn't - we just weren't the feistiest stretch of the route.
Floon was out in force:

Today was the Roslindale Day Parade, and we set up camp at our usual location, at Belgrade and Walworth Street. It was a nice parade, if a bit odd in that there wasn't a single fire truck (unless you count the ancient one used by the New Liberty Jazz Band). Seems the firetrucks ran about 15 minutes before the rest of the parade. And there seemed to be a lot fewer armed-forces/Junior ROTC/veterans groups.
More photos, natch:

Unlike last year, the weather for the Roslindale Day Parade today was just wonderful. The woman above was part of a Bolivian dancing troupe. One cool thing: Boston firefighters, marching behind a "Thank you for your support" banner, got loud applause.
Roslindale is hardcore

Roslindale didn't let the rain rain on its parade - the annual Roslindale Day parade went on as scheduled down Belgrade Avenue (albeit without some bands and groups and firetrucks):
Not the sort of thing you'd expect to see today

They danced well, but it was still kind of odd to see a bunch of people in Yankees uniforms dancing down Belgrade Avenue during today's Roslindale Day parade.
