Sawgrass was packed with people and there were people lined up on both sides of Meggison from Citrus Grove to St. Catherine's/Cason Hammock roundabout.
Not sure when they closed Meggison but if you were heading northwest on Meggison, once you got to Roudell Way, they were stopping all traffic. There were a lot of contractors and realtors that couldn't get out. They couldn't take the back roads and come out through Ezell and I don't think they could take the back roads and come out at St. Catherine Circle.
It was a nice parade but I don't think Meggison is a great venue for parades. It is the only road to and from the area which does create logistical problems for people not going to the parade.
Do they have parades on Morse or Buena Vista??

Parades have always been around the squares with staging areas in the surrounding parking lots. And.......no, Morse and Buena Vista are not used for parades.
