St. Pat’s

March 18th, 2009

So we were a little nervous about how bad it would be this year living so close to Westport and having the parade relocated to the neighborhood.  Fortunately it wasn’t too terrible.  There were lots of cars and people in the Volkerhood, but the worst were the helicopters.  We live really close to Southwest Trafficway and Mill Street, near the Sunfresh, and had a police helicopter hovering over that intersection most of the day.  Then at various times as many as three TV news helicopters added to the mix.

Fortunately we only encountered one instance of someone peeing in a neighbor’s yard and only one guy puking in the street.  Otherwise, it was some awesome people watching, including two teenage girls getting into a fist fight down the block.  Good times!

I also managed to duck out for a bit to see some of the parade….
