Your Friendly Guide to the Parade on Bloomington Avenue

Where's Waldo? Where can you see yourself in the parade story?

There’s a children’s book series that asks us to find the ordinary guy named “Waldo” amidst a crowd of people in varying scenes. Taking inspiration from this idea, we imagine Waldo to be “ourselves” journeying through the parade scenes. Watch for someone in yellow and black stripes as the parade goes by.
