This was another post that I meant to get done last month, but with everything going on I didn’t have time to finish it. After the Pens won the Stanley Cup the city of Pittsburgh celebrated the victory by holding a City of Champions parade downtown. You know me being a crazy hockey fan I would be down there! My friend Jason and I headed down around 10AM and it was already packed! People had been getting there since 5AM! We ended up getting a pretty good spot right along the parade route. I of course brought my camera and took as many pictures as I could. You can see them all in my Flickr set. City officials said that over 375,000 people showed up for the parade, which was more than the Steelers parade in February! It was a great way to spend the afternoon and definitely good to see the cup back in Pittsburgh!

Here are some of the pictures that I took…

Hmmm, is this compareable to the Laker’s parade?
