Hi Scott -
This MPD alert for the Parade does not match the parade route shared by Howard University. I have sent an email to Howard University and MPD, asking them to clarify the route. Howard has replied that they will "work with MPD to revise the message". Hopefully, the parade will not be travelling on Second Street.
Looks like great weather for the parade. Third and T is a great spot for Bloomingdale neighbors to watch the parade, since the parade turns the corner by the market and there is a lot of room for viewers!
Glad that HU will work with MPD to revise the homecoming parade route message.
Sorry - Fourth and T is the corner where the parade turns.
Scott - thanks for posting the revised parade route alert.
