Dom Nozzi as The Grinch in the 2023 Greenville SC Christmas Parade, 12.9.23

As a new bicycle taxi driver for the Greenville Bike Taxi company, I made a marketing suggestion to the company owner: We should ask the City of Greenville if they would allow us to have a bike taxi (a “pedicab”) in the extremely popular annual Greenville Christmas parade on Main Street, and have one of our drivers be dressed as The Grinch. And have Cindy Lou Who be his passenger (one of the famous lines from The Grinch original movie is Cindy Lou Who catching The Grinch, dressed as Santa, stuffing the Christmas tree up the chimney. “Why??” asked Cindy Lou Who. “Why are you taking our Christmas tree?”
I figured at a minimum the children watching the parade would LOVE seeing The Grinch and Cindy Lou Who on a bike taxi and beg their parents to get a ride with The Grinch.
To the great surprise of the owner, when he called the City, he was told it would be a wonderful idea! The owner then told me since it was my idea, I had first dibs on being The Grinch in the parade.
Maggie then bought us costumes, and we participated in the annual downtown Greenville Christmas parade on Saturday, December 9th.
Maggie, dressed as Cindy Lou Who, got a bicycle taxi ride from Dom, dressed as The Grinch. Our company prez, who bicycled behind me and shot this video, estimated the parade spectators numbered at least 100,000 people. We had a GREAT time. Countless people watching seemed to LOVE the wonderful Grinch costume that Maggie bought for me. What a humbling, joyous event.
