Thanksgiving parade 

A parade usually held during the day, whether it's the Macy's parade in New York or a smaller parade in another city or town. There's a reason the parades have already been successful throught the years they have held them without having to change their scheduleThe , people can already see the floats without having to waste a ton of money to light them up, and they can see the bands and people walking during the day, so it makes sense the parades have always been held during the daytime. A New Years celebration is held at night because the focal point pf the parade is a lit ball, peach, or other object on a building, instead of down on the street with the crowd, so it makes sense for a New Years celebration to be held at night, and not a Thanksgiving parade.
The girl wanted to take the Thanksgiving parade in it's current form from the people who had always known it the way it was, along with many other things. That was the reason (essentially no reason but to be inflammatory and piss everybody off) she wanted the parade, or street signs, or other things they loved about their town the way they were to change to something they didn't recognize.

Thanksgiving Day Parade 

Daytime has always been a good enough time for a parade for most people of generation after generation from cities all over countries that celebrate Thanksgiving, yet some people don't feel like they have enough complete control over events, and try to push it to the night time in some areas (the same people that push people with extended mandates and restrictions that force longtime and loved businesses to close so they can purchase the land for cheap and redevelop it into something they see more dollar signs in).
Somebody must think that all the people that held their Thanksgiving Day parade during the day before them were old school idiots that didn't know how to have a good time, even though people always loved the daytime parades and didn't really want their hearts or minds changed for them.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 

Annual Thanksgiving tradition that has taken place in the Big Apple for nearly 100 years. Giant balloons, tons of marching bands, clowns, floats, fun stuff :) Event is annually televised on NBC.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
