Jefferson City Buzzards Walking Club February 24, 2009

The venerated grandfather of all the Walking Clubs formed in 1890, and features an all-male membership who regularly dress as women for their parade.

Generous with their throws and their informalities, watch for the Buzzards to pull one of their classic pranks: lying on their backs in the street and quivvering their arms and legs in the air like dying cockroaches in front of traffic, yelling "whoooops!"

The Jefferson City Buzzards begin marching at Audubon Park and Laurel St. Uptown. They head down Tchoupitoulas to Aragella, then to Magazine, to St. Charles Avenue down to Canal St., preceding Rex. From there, they go to Rampart St. then U-turn to end up at Magazine and Poydras streets.

Look for the club's emblem doubloons, always a collectible item.
