we made the 4.5 hr drive northeast Saturday. got in town around 1030am and parked in the vicinity of 15th & Singleton in a no-parking zone and walked across the bridge to the rink and then down Market to Tucker. We stood pretty much underneath the Blues flag they had hung over the street.
Neat experience, but I told the family if they win again in the coming years, I'm staying home..

We drank free beer at Urban Chestnut and then drove to Hofbrau in Belleville for more. It was a well spent Father's Day weekend.

Glad you made it and enjoyed the weekend. We got down there around 10:30 as well and parked in the garage at Olive and Locust, only a few blocks from Market. We crossed over and met up with some friends at 14th and Market for a nice view of the parade. Had a great time watching the players interact with everyone. If touching the Cup was a lifelong dream, that was the place to be. O'Reilly made sure anyone that wanted to touch it could do so.

By the time they got to the Rally at the Arch, it was pretty much a drunken chit-show. I'm not sure one player was sober enough to say anything worth listening to. But everyone soaked it all in and I didn't see any stupidity by the fans, unless you consider Brett Hull a fan. He was hammered by 8:00am and it seemed to go downhill from there...

Those things aren't my cup of tea but I am glad I went. It was pretty cool to be a part of it all. Looking Forward to next year's parade!!
