Friday is St. Patrick's Day. It is also the day of the annual Cleveland St. Patrick's Day parade. The first parade in Cleveland took place in 1842 and was organized by Rev. Peter McLaughlin. The parade will start at 1:00 in Downtown Cleveland, and as usual will travel down Superior Ave from E 18th St to Public Square.

If you happen to be planning on going, you may want to pack a coat and an umbrella. The forecast is looking wet with scattered showers (rain THANKFULLY, LOL) and temps in the mid 40s. A cold rain - not the most fun way to watch a parade. But hey, it's the day where everyone is Irish! Plus, I have a feeling that many people will have had a beverage or two where they will not really care ;).

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
