But instead of ending at Thomas Circle, the 170 floats and groups participating in the event will for the first time walk north on newly-developed14th Street, past new restaurants and condominiums. 'Our community has expanded, so we wanted to honor and recognize those businesses that popped up along 14th Street,' Bos said. 'We felt many of the businesses are supportive of the LGBT community, so we said lets give it try.'"
