Soon, the Christmas parades will be rolling through our city streets proclaiming the birth of Christ and featuring many colorful floats, marching band and Santa Claus. Last year, I (and many others I’ve spoken to) noticed that a lot of businesses, especially in Lugoff, had cordoned off the rights-of-way to stop cars and trucks from parking there to watch the parade with their friends and families. Parking to watch the Lights of Lugoff parade is one night out of 364 other nights.
