In Your Neighborhood

[ILUVDXL]

Do thay have any big St. Parick's Day celebrations? Here in Boston ther is always a big political breakfast roast and then a parade. Every Irish Bar serves up corned beef and cabbage. I know New York and Chicago have big celebrations. How about in your part of the country?

Dublin, California has a parade and festivities. San Francisco will have a parade on Sunday.

I grew up in South Boston and went to the parade every year. Here on the Cape there is nothing special about the day that I know of.

No. My town is very Italian.

There is a pub crawl down Beale Street in Memphis every year

Yes. Big parade and lots and lots of Irish bars here in Buffalo.

"The world's largest per capita parade" is tomorrow in Syracuse, New York. Lots of people will then head up to a neighborhood called Tipperary Hill for green beer at one of the many pubs.

We have a large Italian population too, but this weekend they'll become Irish .

Hello Buffalo neighbor! We should have great weather for the festivities!

St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal here in Cleveland. Downtown bars will be packed at noon with parade watchers and partygoers. When it falls on a weekday, a good number of people take the day off to drink.

Ditto that -- I dread working downtown on St. Pat's day.
