Is the committee that made this recommendation really this clueless as to what students and alums are going to do now?  If you think the majority of people who lined Court Street in years past are looking to line Station Street you are out of touch.  When was the last time they walked that hill?  The 110 is used to marching, the rest of the parade won't be nearly as ready..
 
Am I missing something? Is Ohio looking to do away with the parade completely? They could do that with much less fanfare after the parade flops this year.  That would be a shame.

I will start of by saying this, I never actually made it to the parade during my time in Athens. From the Athens News article, it mentions the previous parade route would dissipate near the CONVO leading me to believe that it went down Richland Avenue after leaving Court Street.   Is this correct?


I think that it is worth noting that the route down the hill on University Terrace is more treacherous than going up Union Street.  For those not familiar with University Terrace, it's comes off the same hill that is behind the new Baker Center.  However, this part of the hill has no escalators. 

The past couple years it has gone all the way down Court and turned left at the new Baker Center. It went down the street where Alden is (Park Place?). I think it then turned right onto University Terrace and ended shortly after.
