Today I attended the Whitland Avenue July 4th Celebration. There was a patriotic song sing-along, Sousa marches, a dramatic reading of the Declaration of independence, a parade, campaigning politicians, reunion with old friends, a keynote address by Representative Beth Harwell, and a picnic. The Whitland Avenue 4th of July celebration is a Norman Rockwell Americana patriotic experience. Here are a few pictures.
