I just think the novelty of these type of displays was up in the 90s, It’s time for an upgrayedd. I propose leprechauns flying up and down the river wearing water jet packs, shooting people with their Chicago-style hot dog cannons would be more with the times. What’s your idea?

    The people who make the green dye are probably perpetuating it because it means an influx in dye sales.

    All this strikes up another good question, why don’t they dye it gold for Oktoberfest, red for Dyngus Day, etc.? It seems incredibly overshadowing one culture in a multicultural city has outright terraforming privileges while others get a couple of tiny cornerstreets to call home once a year.

      Because tracing dye is originally green. It’s just a happy coincidence that it ended up working for Saint Patricks day.

        I used to go to the national parades for them because they’re nearby. It’s very nice.
