St. Louis has two St. Patrick's Day parades. We've seen some images from what you might say is the official one downtown, always on the Saturday before the event. The other is on the day itself in the narrow streets of an old Irish neighborhood with the picturesque name of Dogtown (which is not derogatory - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogtown%2C_St._Louis). It's much more let the waist band out and be as goofy as you please. More to come.
I should have mentioned yesterday that March 17 has special significance in our home. Mrs. C and I met in a bar on St. Patrick's Day 49 years ago. The place was so crowded we were almost pressed into one another by the pinball machine I awkwardly asked her if she would like to play. Now here we are, happily growing old together.

Great story, you should buy a pinball machine for next years celebrations.
Looks like fun!
