CHICAGO / USA : Chicago Celebrates St. Patrick's Day...Early And Often.

       Though this newsblog's editor has lived in Austin since 1979...he grew-up and worked for years in Chicago.

       It's a city that never neglects celebrating its minority Irish heritage...in a BIG way!

       Interestingly...Chicago doesn't even crack the USA's Top 10 metro areas with Irish ancestry.
       Boston leads with 20.4%.

       But...because it falls on a Sunday this year...Chicagoans will party ALL weekend!
