Title: The Balloons Sleep Tonight....
Post by: HaroldBlvd on November 26, 2009, 02:07:56 AM
Every year the balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade are assembled and inflated at the staging ground of West 81st street just across the street from the Planetarium.

It is a surreal sight indeed. All the huge balloons just resting and waiting for their grand moment in the parade tomorrow.

This something I've been meaning to do for ages and I'm very happy I got a chance to view these balloons this year.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'd love the translation for that.
