'We Are the Giants, We Are San Francisco, and We Are World Champs!'

From the tiniest infants swaddled in orange and black, to the blue-suited Tony Bennett crooning, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," Wednesday's parade celebrating the world championship Giants was a party for the ages.

It was the perfect recipe for a celebration: more than a million people, a world class city, thousands of pounds of confetti, a championship baseball team, a parade, AND it just so happened to be Halloween---what more do you need to crank out the biggest and best party ever in the streets of San Francisco?

Be sure to see Patch editor Cody Kitaura's video of the parade--click here to view.

If you were there, you undoubtedly took some photos and we invite you to share them with other Patch readers. Show your orange and black pride by uploading your photos or videos here.

And feel free to share your favorite moments of the parade festivities in the comment section below.

I didn't go this year, but watched it on T V. It was pretty decent this time. Speeches were moving & emotional at times. Not to mention it was Bi-lingual (Spanish) as well!

Hello Chris,
I have a question for you on a topic not related to baseball It is about a former employee of South San Francisco Unified. His name is Adolfo Melara He is a principal at a charter school and many staff members there are upset with his management style. They say he does not communicate with them and makes unilateral decisions. My relatives are students there. He has tried to get teachers replaced. I know you followed the superintendent crisis at SSUSD about 1.5 years ago. Do you have any insights on him?

Thanks Joan - there is one in the sub-head of the blog I posted on School-Force Voices today; wouldRead More love if it could be corrected. Been scratching my head til I saw this post :)

Sorry about that! There's nothing I can do on my end----it's system-wide bug, which I believe isRead More fixed now. :)

I also preferred the 'old' Patch - this format makes it difficult to find articles that are aren'tRead More that old. One example was the informative article on who was running for city Council. I was having problems finding it and finally had to query on a candidate's name to find. I don't recall having that issue with the original format. Also our neighborhood had a water break line and we were without water for some hours a few Sundays ago. I tried to find out the reason for the break (because of construction or old pipes?) and could not find anything on the Patch regarding this. Not sure if they just didn't report or I just couldn't find.

Not crazy about the new Patch either. Also, I want to post-for sale, and this section is crowdedRead More with announcements, etc.

Another thing that needs to be fixed: When you go to leave a comment, it takes you over to whereRead More you have to sign in, you sign in expecting to be returned to the article on which you are commenting, but it, instead, takes you back to some different article. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! Also, please reinstate the feature where we can sign up to be notified if/when more comments are made concerning the article(s) we've commented on so we can follow the conversation. Thank you.

what do the local Belmont restaurants think of this? do these people pay a license to the city?
Joan S. Dentler (Editor) June 4, 2013 at 07:15 am
Hi Don....thanks for your question. Yes, Off the Grid does pay a licensing fee to the city, and soRead More far, we haven't heard any concerns by local restaurants. The food trucks provide an option to a traditional restaurant---pick up and go----and they are only around 4-5 hours per week (on Mondays, typically not a big restaurant night anyway). Have you tried the food yet?
