Mike Read Editor HoustonChronicle.com News mike@chron.com ::::: **Thanksgiving Day Parade Not all of the information on the Web site comes from news reporters and photographers. Some of it is in the form of advertising, and marketing and promotion efforts. Sometimes, it takes the best efforts of evrybody to bring you the full story. Chronicle reporter Bruce Westbrook provides the news that Santa Claus is coming to town next week at the end of the 52nd annual annual Thanksgiving Day Parade through downtown starting at 9 a.m. Thursday. Because of the construction downtown, this year's parade will be following Milam south rather than Main Street; so we've posted a map in the Preview area of Entertainment to help the 400,000 folks expected to see the parade in person find their way to the new route. Parade sponsor Washington Mutual is providing a limited number of $20 reserved bleacher seats near Smith at Capitol, and the Marketing Department has joined with them to create a special official parade Web site where tickets can be purchased. First the parade, then the turkey dinner. Watch how the turkey trots at: http://www.HoustonChronicle.com/preview or http://www.HoustonChronicle.com/wamu ::::: *What's New at HoustonChronicle.com **Winter Olympic Games Hard to imagine from the weather we've been having in Houston the past few days, but the winter sports season is starting in much of the country. The centerpiece of this year's winter sports season is going to be the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City early next year. The world will be turning its attention toward Utah, and so will we. Well, actually, we've already started getting ready, and there's a special Olympics section already set up in the Sports area of the Web site. And the newspaper will be providing weekly coverage of the Olympics preparations -- increasing in frequency as the games come closer. So, let it snow; let it snow ... Check on the rest of the winter sports at: http://www.HoustonChronicle.com/olympics ::::: **Archives Access for Non-Subscribers For a couple of year now, the online archives of the Houston Chronicle and the Houston Post have been open to Houston Chronicle subscribers.
