Occupy Wall Street Protesters to March Through Parkville

Occupy Parkville? It sounds strange, but a group of Occupy Wall Street protesters will march down Harford Road later this week on their way from New York City to Baltimore and then onto Washington.

One week ago, Occupy Wall Street protesters left Liberty Square in New York City on a 20-mile-per-day march to Washington that's expected to take about two weeks. They're calling their trek Occupy the Highway. The protestors goal is to be in Washington for the Nov. 23 Congressional Supercommittee meeting that is trying to address the country's serious budget problems.

According to the route released by the protesters on Google Maps, they will march down Harford Road beginning where it intersects with Business Route 1 in the Bel Air area and continue through Fork, Cub Hill, Carney, Parkville, Hamilton and Lauraville before arriving at Occupy Baltimore downtown in McKeldin Square.

Explore Harford recently reported on the group's potential stayover in the Bel Air.

The group is expected to arrive in Bel Air Friday and should move through the Parkville area over the weekend. 

As of about 1 p.m. Wednesday, the protesters had not yet left Philadelphia. You can follow the group's progress on their blog and Twitter users can follow the group's progress @NYCmarch2DC.
