Vice President Joe Biden greets spectators along Grant Street during today's St. Patrick's Day Parade Downtown.
Perhaps it was the presence of Vice President Joe Biden -- who energetically walked and jogged the whole route, working the crowd the whole way -- or the weather, or the fact the parade was being held on St. Patrick's Day itself for the first time in five years, but the crowd was extremely large. On Grant Street, enthusiastic parade watchers completely filled blocked-off lanes, sidewalks and building entrances. There were no early reports of any major alcohol-related problems. In fact, many remarked at how organizers had achieved their goal of hosting a family-friendly event that everyone could enjoy.
