Golly, what a Fourth of July! That's what people were saying yesterday around Annapolis as a gentle breeze blew through town and the city put on an Independence Day parade that got folks talking. 
Joshua McKerrow — The Capital

Even the gods of mayhem cooperated, according to county Fire Department spokeswoman Capt. Debbie Bowen. "It has been quieter today than any weekend I've had during the year," she said last night. Earlier in the evening, Annapolis Mayor Ellen O. Moyer was jubilant about the holiday. "It is our birthday, and you always celebrate a birthday," Moyer said in an interview before the parade...

Parade - 2009-07-05 15:27:05
I didn't think the parade was "old-fashioned" at all. For one, I didn't see how the belly dancers tied in with our nation's birthday. The only band was the asian cultural association. Where were any local high school bands? I didn't see any veterans riding on cars for example. It would have been nice to see more antique vehicles and possibly military vehicle collectors as well. The number of mayoral candidates was laughable. The parade was a disappointment for me and my family.

Did Anyone See The Mayor? - 2009-07-05 10:18:58
The Capital has her down for a pre-parade interview, but I did not see her in the parade. Did anyone see her?
