Peggy, when we lived in Boston,MA it was almost a National Holiday, everyone was drinking in the Pubs by 12noon, since we moved to LA it is almost a passing fancy. Hope you will have a Great ST Patty's Day:))
Endre.... NYC is like that as well - almost a mob scene! Thanks for stopping by... and have a good one.
Hi Peggy.....it's too early to start celebrating now!!!!! it's two weeks away.....are you sure you're not from Boston's South End.....
Sounds like a lot of fun! I wish we had something like that here. We have plenty of celebrations, but not a big one for St Paddy's. We do have one parade, and since it is the Keys, the parade is a bit odd.
David - just from a numbers perspective, I believe NYC has the largest St. Paddy's parade. For the most part, most of 8 million residents and additional 2 million daily workers celebrate in some fashion - it's wild! SF does a nice job, but doesn't even come close. I think Boston is next because of it's very large Irish population.
No Barb, not Boston's South End - when I lived in Mass, I was NE in Peabody. We had a local parade that was fun for the kids!
Kathy - a St. Paddy's parade in the Keys must be a hoot!
Peggy, This sounds like a lot of fun! My son is Irish … and he will likely be in San Francisco celebrating St. Paddy’s Day.
Hi Kathleen, have him watch for the garbage company's antique garbage trucks - they're always a big hit!
I've never been to San Fran but would LOVE to. Sound like St. Patrick's Day will be fantastic.
I bet you would Christopher & Stephanie! And, not nearly as cold as a parade day in Philly... thanks for stopping by :)
Peggy, great localism post! How fun. We have St Paddy's things going on here too this weekend.
