Thousands of people lined the streets for Bloomfield’s Columbus Day Parade, but the talk along Liberty Avenue was about the possibility that the parade could change names, neighborhoods or even seasons. The sun was out in Bloomfield and so were the bands, both big and small. Pageant queens, and friends from KDKA, like Paul Martino and Christine D’Antonio.

But the conversation all around: would the parade stay in Bloomfield or move downtown? “I don’t like it because I won’t go downtown,” Bloomfield resident Anita Ricci said.
