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?
We have a lot of people who live far from their country of origin, so they get really excited when they get to celebrate their heritage and get a special national holiday. Then of course the rest of us Americans love a good time and excuse to party, so we love celebrating alongside them. It’s all in good fun. When I was younger, there was a whole neighborhood that went off the hook for stuff like St. Patrick’s Day, Mardi Gras, and stuff like that. My friends and I would always be so excited to go down there and party it up. It’s a really good time for everyone involved.
