The end of the parade route is about 2 blocks from the garage.?? Basically the way it works is after we pass the reviewing stand at the end of the parade in front of the courthouse, we will walk about a block and take a hard right down toward orange street. The Granite Square Parking Garage is probably 2 or 300 yards away from where we break off the parade route. ?? 2 Link to comment
