Having just recovered from a green spell, Baltimore is about to turn blue and white.
The city Transportation Department will close two important streets in East Baltimore Sunday to make way for the Greek Independence Day Parade.
Eastern Avenue will be closed between Haven and Ponca streets, and Ponca between Eastern and Oldham Street, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
The parade itself kicks off at 2 p.m. and is expected to last about three hours. Traffic on cross streets will be restricted during the road closures. The parade will start forming about 11 a.m. and will continue along Eastern and Ponca before disbanding two blocks past St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at Fait Avenue.
