Everyone better figure out what shade of green they are going to be wearing next week. The Charlotte North Carolina St. Patrick's day parade will be held on March 14. It starts at 10 am, which is a really early start, if you ask me. The parade will be full of bands and drill teams and other cool people. It will also feature the superintendant of schools as the Grand Marshall, which is kind of a downer. When I think of St. Patrick, I really don't want to be thinking about education. But I'm sure he's swell guy and will marshall the parade well.
The parade runs in uptown Charlotte, like most of the seasonal parades do. It is a fun way to go into the city and bring the kids to see who is parading. It's not a huge parade, and Charlotte isn't a huge city, so parking and getting to the parade probably isn't going to be a problem as it might be somewhere else. Although uptown Charlotte Real Estate is desireable, most people in Charlotte live outside of uptown, so the streets won't be clogged with people who just got up. They'll be clogged with people who want to be there.
