Seeing it all
I would like to respond with a nursery rhythm.
The Mice ran up the Clock
The Clock stuck One
And the other one got out with minor injuries.
Dear Anonymous: you must be terrified to walk the streets of Pickerington at night. With all of those thousands of local punks walking the Pickerington streets you must feel the real need to run for your mail to pick up your Social Security check.
If your 83 year old mother is that fragile was it really a good idea to take her out in a big crowd like we saw Monday evening? Who would you have blamed if you had got your mother attacked by a thunder storm?
I have attended the Pickerington Parade and fireworks for probably 25 to 30 years and I can?’t recall a crowd that large. There even seemed to be a festive atmosphere during the event. I can?’t recall seeing anyone walking around with the Pickerington strut (like they had a corn cob stuck up their butt and their chest pumped out). People looked like they were actually having fun.
Now we all see what we want during events like this. I saw probably thousands of kids holding plastic bags waiting patiently to have some one HAND them a piece of candy. I understand there is a Pickerington City ordinance prohibiting people in the parades from throwing candy from their vehicles. Clearly Anonymous was probably on council when this law was passed because of all the concussions caused by flying tootsie rolls.
The City of Pickerington spent a big chuck of change funding the fourth of July celebration. To have this kind of turnout makes (or should make us) feel good about tax dollars being spent on events that are well attended.
I think the rider less horse to honor the fallen Pickerington Marine and his family was very appropriate on a day we all celebrate our freedoms. Then there was the WWII vet that finally received his medals recently and that was also appropriate.
Then the usual politicians and fire trucks, along with the Pickerington Bands all made up an event that was both interesting and had a real message to those watching. I would be safe in saying that I saw thousands of young people that were clean cut and who were happy and a little sweaty. Yes some had squirt guns and those soakers. I sat a few rows back from the curb and I did get a little spray but it was very refreshing on such a hot evening. As for punks, I saw exactly one kid with rainbow hair dressed in black that I would call a punk.
If anyone is getting feelings of anxiety in downtown Pickerington then posting on this web site will not cure that. It will take professional
