Many many Arkansans are of Irish, Scottish, or Scots-Irish descent. And they probably all live a lifestyle not entirely unlike modern day rural Irish life except they play American sports and each community doesn't have it's own pub.
Chicago area has a big irish ethnicity to it. The mayor is of irish descent.
Mostly on the south side, they have the biggest st. paddys day parade, but the west suburban area has lots of irish that moved out from where they originated on the west side.
My descendants were west side irish during the chicago fire era, that was a big irish community.
Lots of celtic/irish stuff going on here for sure.

Chicago is definitely one of the most Irish cities.
