In Philadelphia, they pretty much closed down the area public, private and parochial school systems for the Eagles’ Superbowl parade (R-rated as it turned out to be). Of course, it wasn’t the last day of final exams . . . .

Actually, they pretty much closed down the city. Those of us who worked downtown were invited not to come to work. The commuter rail system had limited stops, and you had to have bought a special ticket at least 24 hours in advance to get on the train at any point during the day. No passes accepted. That was very harsh, but system capacity was nowhere near demand, and they had had terrible problems with people getting stranded for hours and hours when the Phillies won the World Series.
