Winthrop MA 02152 also known as Winthrop by the Sea. It is the day after the 4th of July and we are quietly recovering at home from all the wonderful festivities that Winthrop by the Sea has to offer. I can't help but notice how quiet it is after all the activity yesterday. We started the day in Winthrop by the Sea by heading out to the Horribles Parade in the morning. Kids with plastic bags in hand to carry the candy loot being thrown from the parade participants. My daughters asked why the candy is thrown and I was only able to answer it is part of the tradition. As we made the 1/2 mile walk to our favorite watching spot we took time to stop and talk to people we knew along the way. This is also part of the tradition. It is special to live in Winthrop MA 02152 a place where you know s... 07/05/2010

My parents live in Winthrop, MA which is a real slice of Americana.  For the past 45 years we have participated in the Point Shirley Horribles Parade.  What makes this parade so special is that it's made up of people from the town.  All you need to do is come up with an idea, make your sign and costume and head down to the boat landing before the 9 AM start each 4th of July.  The parade route is less than 2 miles long and winds through the Point Shirley area of town, down to the bay and ends in Coughlin Park. At the park you can enter the pie eating contest, runa  race or attempt to climb the greased pole. At night, the town has a beautiful fireworks display.  This year the city will be closed to traffic after 6 PM, so make sure you get their early. The parage certainly isn't the Tourna... 07/02/2010
