Thank you, United States of America, for becoming more like Davis Square today.

And, courtesy of the Somerville Journal, enjoy this video of last night's celebratory parade. The Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society marching band performed outside the Holland Street T entrance around 9:30 last night, then sauntered down the sidewalk to Sabur restaurant in Teele Square, where State Senator Pat Jehlen and State Rep. Denise Provost hosted a victory party.



(My bicycle and I show up briefly about 0:24 into the video)

I don't know the names of the folks with hula hoops (or the other paraders, for that matter)

From the news: Initially enthusiastic about becoming more like the famous Davis Sq., the honeymoon was shortlived, as 115,340,000 americans woke up this morning to find that their car had been ticketed.

I thought everything was over, but at 1:00 a parade of students from Tufts came down my street. I followed them down to Davis Square where they chanted and broke into the Star Spangled Banner.

No fires. No flipping cars. No property damage. Just happy people.
