After the extended break at Big Man Lounge, the parade resumed, swinging onto Claiborne Avenue, which was the biggest thoroughfare of the route so far, and the crowd swelled to hundreds, lining every parking lot. By now, people in the crowd knew that the Saints had won their game at the Superdome, and that only added to the festive mood. As we approached a former Pizza Hut that was boarded up and closed, I suddenly realized that two very young boys were dancing up on its slanted roof. I immediately became worried, wondering if any responsible adult knew they were up there, and when they seemed to be considering climbing further up to the very top of the roof, I became more worried still. But just as we passed, they slid down to the gutter, where hands of nearby spectators reached up to grab them and pull them gently down.
