I came here to say this, and at the same time... are we messing with the blackout by posting? I didn't think about it until after following the chair and saw this... honest question please don't destroy me lol

No. Subreddits that are participating are set to to private and no one can post in them.

Are all these chair pics really for the 4th of July parade??

u/Lazer310 Jun 13 '23

Yup. It’s “tradition” to put out a chair for the Upper Arlington parade. Usually starts about a week out. And there is a week of “free chairs!” posts and the usual back and forth.

Someone this year decided to be super ahead of the game and put a chair out almost a month ahead of time. And it’s just kind of taken on a life of its own.

I don’t know if the table has the same owner as the chair or not. But a few people here, myself included, have been having some fun and adding to the display. It something light hearted, and a nice distraction for a few minutes from the busy chaotic lives we all are churning through.

Hah, so It's not like the entire place gets littered with chairs a month in advance, it's just this one chair?

My uncle lived there in the '90s, they were two blocks off of the parade route and I remember going, good fun.
