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.
