In 2007, the revived Miracle Mile Parade saw parade entries march from south to north along Madison Avenue, beginning somewhere below Troy Avenue.
The big change in 2008 saw parade participants march in the opposite direction, starting at Southern Avenue and moving south.
Parade entries again featured high school marching bands, politicians, appearances by community businesses, police and fire departments, the Johnson County Mini-Mystics, the Garfield Park Conservatory, members of the nearby Emmerich Manual High School football team, representatives of nearby churches, Corvette Club members and their cars and other classic cars.
And in the parade's 2008 rendition, I even got a photo of Jeff Cardwell, who I had mentioned in Chapter 12.
Coming tomorrow, Chapter 14: 2010 neighborhood yuletide lights and decorations
