  1. Seems like the most practical parade route.

    S.P” The Bridgeport Police Department thanks you for your cooperation and understanding. We look forward to a safe and enjoyable celebration of Puerto Rican heritage and culture.

    PR heritage and culture are part of Columbus’s History. You can’t celebrate one without acknowledging the other. Let’s try to remember that with your inner racism/game of white people/Anti-America. Unless you condemn both, that would be fair and you want to change PR Day to Indigenous People / Taínos Day. JS
