Sponsored by the Times Square Alliance, actors dressed as characters used in balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade protest at a news conference in Times Square on Wednesday, March 9, 2011. New York and Macy's announced that the parade route will change from Seventh Avenue to Sixth Avenue in 2012 because of curbs being installed the pedestrian plazas. Hotels, which have already booked rooms, and other businesses will suffer from the change in route. (© Richard B. Levine)
