Veterans parade planned for New Albany today.

CM Coffey wanted the run the parade down State Street, but those accursed bump-outs got in the way. At Monday's council meeting, he made it sound like only a matter of time before he organized vigilantes with sledgehammers to remove the obstructions to driving too damned fast. Meanwhile, NAC endorses bump-outs on EVERY street in town.

But seriously ... this parade is a pretty good idea.
