Fourth of July in Whiting
in 1925

What is a 4th of July in Whiting without a parade? In 1925, that parade started at 9:30 a.m. But one difference between that parade and current day 4th of July parades was the route. Instead of confining itself to the main commercial avenues in town (119th Street and Indianapolis Boulevard), the 1925 parade also went through a few residential neighborhoods.
