Rains on Richards Parade, Does Stop Ceremony

Congress Avenue parade canceled, but renaming ceremony still scheduled

The mist and rain has canceled the procession down Congress Avenue, but the 11am ceremony unveiling a plaque renaming the Congress Avenue bridge for Gov. Ann Richards is still on, says the city.

Good for them. Chronic has more on the renaming here and here.

Update: Nope, the ceremony's canceled, too. Our apologies.
