I think the city of Boston should give Mayor Menino the biggest parade ever.

RIP Mayor, you will be missed.

From there, the procession will go to Grove Hall, Franklin Park, the Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood, the Mattapan Library, Roslindale Square and, finally, Most Precious Blood Church.

Earlier Friday, the office of Vice President Joe Biden announced that he is planning to attend Menino’s funeral on Monday.....
