"Reevaluating St. Patrick's Day Parade Amid Public Behavior Concerns"
South Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn suggests moving the St. Patrick's Day Parade out of South Boston due to concerns about public drinking, violence, and disrespect for the neighborhood. This comes after 10 arrests and reports of disorderly conduct during this year's parade. Flynn calls for major changes and a zero tolerance policy for such behavior, stating that the neighborhood cannot sustain an "anything goes" attitude. The parade has been a tradition in South Boston since 1901, but Flynn believes it may be time for a change.
