Was The Halloween Parade Shorter Than Usual?
Doing my usual morning reading on Park Slope Parents I noticed some posts about the Halloween Parade being too short. I certainly didn't think so watching the parade from our front stoop on Third Street.

was it just us or did it seem like the parade was ridiculously short? in the past we'd meet up at 14th around 6:15, trick or treat, watch the parade, join the parade, trick or treat, stop for pizza, trick or treat, watch the parade, join the parade and end up down by first street what seemed like hours later...
last night, the street sweepers where outside of the Methodist by 7:18, and we hadn't had pizza, or done much trick or treating. it was kind of a surprise. 7th was opened up to traffic shortly after that.
anyone else notice?

Yes, it seemed very short to me. I think the new route made it seem shorter on 7th avenue, in addition it was more crowded. It was still great, but the street cleaners did start up around 7:15. I liked it when marchers and spectators could linger for a longer time on 7th ave.
