"City Councilor Calls for Changes to St. Patrick's Day Parade Behavior"
Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn is considering moving the St. Patrick's Day Parade out of South Boston after ten people were arrested for disorderly conduct during the event, which drew record-breaking crowds. Flynn expressed concern about the neighborhood's ability to sustain an "anything goes" attitude with a million visitors and emphasized the need to meet basic standards of decency, stating that the people of South Boston deserve to be treated with respect. It is unclear whether Flynn will formally propose relocating the parade.
