A huge celebration in St. Louis is the 25th annual Ancient Order of Hibernians St. Patrick's Day Parade, tomorrow (Monday, March 17). The parade, an annual St. Louis tradition, passes through one of St. Louis city's oldest Irish neighborhoods beginning at 12:30 p.m. south of the Tamm Avenue overpass at Oakland Boulevard. The route travels south on Tamm Avenue, past historic St. James the Greater Catholic Church, and ends at Manchester Road.  This is a great parade, and parking is a premium - so get there early or wear your walking shoes.

It has been announced that this year no outside alcohol will be allowed in the parade area. All coolers entering the checkpoints will be searched and any parade watchers trying to enter the checkpoints with alcohol will be turned away. In the interest of public safety all glass containers will also be banned.

We attended last year and had a great time.  This year, unfortunately, we will be unable to attend, as I will be concentrating on getting the Grace deal to close by endo of day tomorrow.
