I'm so offended, too offended. It's a kilt not a skirt. Where is a moderator, where is a lawyer? I'm suing, I'M SUING. Oh, I'm so offended.

People have the right to wear any clothing that represents their culture. Even kilts. What's wrong of wearing a skirt-like dress in public. I have seen a young boys wearing dresses in school.
I say skirts are great, unless they start drooping the waistbands down too far.
what's a good place to get something to eat nearby during the parade?
Wait.
Does this count as a programming note written in the allegedly objectionable programming-note style declaration which, for anyone who has any interest in such things, seemed needless?

Does mcshane's bar have good food? what are the top 3 items?
heh...not nearly as offensive as when folks have to see butt-crack uninvited!
Looking at the weather report...now I'll have to hear all day about 'God loving the Irish', when indeed it is more like He enjoys watching drunken cavorting ushering in Springtime properly. He just put the Irish in charge of the assembly for the day.
Cheers! I'll be somewhere near the Marathon station, as long as I can stand on this leg. Took a spill last night at CAID, and bruised the end of my thigh bone above the knee. Makes for a grand excuse to abuse some pain abatements...I feel like Nancy Kerrigan after the thwack.
I recently zoomed into Seattle for the first time with Google Maps. At random I landed in front of Utilikilts. What are the odds? I had no idea there existed a market for such things.
Seattle's a nice looking city, BTW. Wander around a bit.

Thanks for the laffs Jimaz!
I guess all the humidity and walking up and down them hilly streets calls for ventilated nether garments for us boys.
Why have the parade a week early? Is this a Detroit tradition in the vein of having fireworks on a Tuesday night in June?
As far as the fireworks go, it's an American-Canadian joint, celebrating the "Freedom Festival" between the two countries. Canada celebrates "Canada Day" on July 1st, America celebrates "Independance Day" on July 4th. The fireworks are on a compromised date between the two Holidays.

We did the same in Chicago. The week before is the South Side parade. The next weekend, the one closer to actual St Pattys, is the downtown celebration.
I think you Midwesterners just really, REALLY like St. Patrick's Day.
That was true when it was the International Freedom Festival. But that event is no longer held.As far as the fireworks go, it's an American-Canadian joint, celebrating the "Freedom Festival" between the two countries.

Now we have the Detroit Riverfront Days in the later part of June, and the Parade Company piggybacks the annual fireworks event on the Monday following the close of that event, usually the 4th Monday of June.

"The forth Monday of June?" I guess the OP has a point then. My mistake. Thanx.That was true when it was the International Freedom Festival. But that event is no longer held.
