Steelers Victory Parade!

Today was quite an eventful day. First and foremost, the Steelers victory parade took place downtown. I heard on Channel 4 news that an estimated 350,000 people attended the parade. Although I was planning to go, my friend and I decided that we would rather enjoy our day off from classes and watch the parade from the comfort of our own homes.

I felt that the crowds of people downtown would be too much to handle, but I did get to experience the people coming home from the parade on the trolley. Amazingly enough, I quickly got a seat. As an added bonus, I even made the trolley driver angry by trying to get off too early! My only intention was to make my way to the front to avoid missing my stop! However, as soon as I got up and told someone that I was getting off, a bunch of girls on the trolley started screaming "GETTING OFF!"

So, in the end I did get the best of both worlds...getting a good view of the parade from my television AND people watching the hyped crowd when it ended.
Needless to say, everyone was in a good mood...except the poor trolley driver!

If anyone has a good firsthand experience from being at the parade, feel free to leave a comment!
