St. Patrick’s Day on Greenville Avenue: good times
St. Patrick's Day 2007 on Greenville Avenue
DALLAS Some notes from the 27th Annual Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day Parade aftermath/block party, whose festivities began at about 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning and were still crackling 14 hours later:
- Great day for it, gorgeous weather.
- Good spirit; no one got really ugly.
- The Toadies show at Energy Square was a nice complement. It was also packed. But when it was over, people streamed out and down Greenville Ave. in the most orderly manner imaginable.
- A ton of taxicabs.
- "I had to park about three blocks down the street -- I was here last year, and this year, it's definitely a little busier." -- Shawna Burns, server at Kirby's Steakhouse.
- The streets were shut off at 6 p.m. for about an hour to clean up all the trash.
- "I've been here since 7 a.m. and 14 hours later, I'm trying to get out of here, because I have to come back in at 7 a.m. tomorrow." -- Josh Lloyd, server at Cafe Brazil, 9:45 p.m.
