Chicago Celebrates: St. Patrick's Day

Pictured above are a number of Chicagoans in their native costumes waiting for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Of course, they aren't waiting yet, they won't start assembling until next Saturday, March 17, 2007. In the meantime all of Chicago is beginning to celebrate. The South Side parade is today, and by next weekend, it's likely that a majority of Chicagoans (whether or not they are Irish) will have attended a corned-beef and cabbage dinner.

Over the next few days, keep a sharp eye out for Leprechauns! Do watch the video, below, for a full understanding of the problem.
