For the 13th time, Jim Monaghan's Halloween parade will roll through
the Quarter
Halloween is Oct. 31, which is 13 reversed. And this, the 13th edition
of the Monaghan parade, will have some competition, parade-wise, for
the first time, with Blaine Kern's fledgling Krewe of Boo. So, in the
time-honored tradition of Molly's, the Monaghan krewe members will
adjust and cool their heels until the Krewe of Boo passes on North
Peters Street.
"We'll just have to drink a little more beer," Jim Jr. said. "We're
good at that. And we'll just follow his (Kern's) parade. There are
absolutely no hard feelings. Blaine's a friend."
Monaghan estimates that his parade will likely be under way by 7:45
p.m., but members will remain flexible, and flex their muscles by
lifting some more 12-ounce weights, if necessary. And he's hoping for
a big turnout for both parades because right now, he said, the economy
is really impacting bars, restaurants and merchants in the French Quarter.
