Happy St. Patrick's Day

I consider St. Patrick's Day in Pittsburgh to be the unofficial kick-off for Spring. Both people and this logo come out of winter's slumber this time of the year.
It's hard to imagine a more Irish personalization than on the pot below.
A Pittsburgh tradition since March 17, 1869, our annual St Patrick's Day Parade is one of our rites of Spring. Traditionally held the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day, rumor has it that we have one of the largest parades in the country. The weather was actually decent this year for the parade. And by that I mean that it only rained "lightly" for the most part. I never knew we had so many bagpipe groups in our city.
The kids love the candy and beads. (ps so did we.)
We wish there were more floats in the parade. This was one of the few.
The parade "pros" know this parking garage is one of the best spots to watch a Pittsburgh parade rain or shine.
