And they take pride in it too...which is sad. Listen to a scanner that day if you want some "entertainment." Its non-stop police calls all day and night, call after call of idiocy and crime related to drinking.

Maybe the fact that you are looking for issues or problems is why they are all that you see.

Maybe if you packed your kids up and brought them down there and avoided standing outside tinks you would find your self having fun and letting your kids enjoy a big parade with other kids.

I think people who constantly find fault in everything have every right to voice their opinion but jeez, life is short. The last thing i would do all day is sit and listen to a police scanner.....

And the last thing I would want to do is to take my son downtown to celebrate Scrantons heritage of drunken idiots......

We usually spend the day working at my church's ham and cabbage dinner.

Which I see as a fundamentally stronger and family orientated event then that stupid drunkfest. To each his own I guess.

Teach my son that getting loaded and stumbling around public is ok or teach him to work for a good cause like generating money for our small church so that it can run youth programs and classes...Hmmmmm I know where my priority's are.

I have no desire to be part of Scrantons Irish heritage, thank you...I have my own heritage.

go phillies, you sound like a real blast. can we hang out and play twister on saturday?

parade day is tons of fun. if you have kids, take them down to see the parade and they will love it. if you don't have kids, go to the bar and get drunk. if you don't drink or do drugs, well then, go people watch for a few hours and get a few chuckles. the best parade day ever was the one where i closed the whole thing down by dropping acid around 10pm and walking all over the city until the sun came up. go!

The rain will keep the families away, but I'm sure it won't keep the drunks from their day of debauchery.

Starting to drink at 7:00am??? That's for lightweights. I'm going to crack my first beer around 5:00am.
