re: pride parade moving downtown.
.
I have a big meh for all the people who want to keep it in montrose. Montrose isn’t what it used to be, and it makes no sense for the parade to be there any longer. Moving it downtown will open up the opportunity for more people to attend and enjoy the celebration. That alone is reason enough to move from what was once a neighborhood that was pride to the core, now it’s just a place people live who want to seem edgy .
