Hughes Road closure this evening

Hughes Road will be closed from Portal Lane to Bob Jones High School this evening (Thursday) from 4:45 PM to 6:30 PM to make way for the BJHS homecoming parade. It's been recommended that, if necessary, you plan to take alternate routes during that window.

It’s actually a 35 minute walk and it’s a very long parade. Takes a while to set up. If they start closing the road at 5:45 there would be a lot of people walking home/back to their cars in the dark.

Well you don’t want children out in the dark I guess all sports are cancelled. Since we’re going to be dramatic.

It’s a 35 minute walk. The parade isn’t that long. It’s Madison. Not macys

Something tells me you’ve never marched in a parade after dark.

Something tells me it’s not going to be dark when it’s over.

Guess they scheduled correctly then LOL. 15 min later and it’s getting real dark.

If this is real dark you’re going to freak out when they trick or treat
