journal #31

I read about the march at on immigration that is taking place today. the march started at 9 am at the state fairgrounds. instead of following the planned route south on Grand Avenue the crowd headed east on McDowell Road. The crowd, which stretches for about 3 blocks, then turned south on a side street and back onto Grand Avenue.The route was altered apparently to avoid clogging the intersection of Grand and McDowell, where marchers are still arriving.
