It seems like the people who live above the stores mid-route seem to have a great vantage point, around Foushee Street and the numbered streets in Richmond.

The Science Museum/DMV HQ is great because you always, if possible, want to watch from the beginning of the parade. All the elements are fresh and are at their best. Even though it may be crowded the energy is high and the people are great.

Also, between Lowe’s (on North Allen Street and Broad Street) and the Siegel Center (on North Harrison Street and Broad Street) is a great straight stretch to watch the parade. With the amount of available parking and access to both South Richmond and I-195, this is a great place to watch the parade and get out quickly thereafter.

Speaking as a father of a young child who does it often and having been one myself who did it, nothing beats sitting on the shoulders of your dad or mom to get the best view possible, regardless of where on the route you are.

By Lee's Chicken, because if you're hungry, you can take care of your belly too! Also, the crowd has great energy near Belvidere Street and Broad Street in Richmond.
