One man's battle plan for Arlington Heights parade lawn invasion | |
|
July 04, 2014 I was awakened at dawn on July 4 by the sounds of an idling car engine and the clanging of metal lawn chairs. I looked out my bedroom window to see a middle-aged man in Bermuda shorts arranging the chairs, a blanket and a cooler on my front lawn. I live on Dunton Avenue, the route of our town's annual Fourth of July parade. Since that rude awakening 16 years ago, I have worked through the five stages of grief -- the most prominent being anger -- evolving to a begrudging acceptance of living in a house along the parade route.
