I just think the novelty of these type of displays was up in the 90s, It's time for an upgrayedd. I propose leprechauns flying up and down the river wearing water jet packs, shooting people with their Chicago-style hot dog cannons would be more with the times. What's your idea?

The crowds it attracts today still are huge. What do you mean the novelty has worn down? I have lived in the area since 2012 and I still haven’t gone down to see this because I don’t want to deal with the crowds.
On another note, I guess I’ll be there in a jiffy if they shot me with an Italian beef - wet (not from the river) and lots of giardiniera.
Ahh yes! The only correct way to eat ur Italian beef.
Straight out of the river!
Yes, Italian beef for St. Patricks day. Hahaha.
In all honesty I wouldn’t blame you or Chicago, they are super delish. (Edit grammar)
Haha! Yeah, I read the post before coffee that they were shooting Chicago-style hot dogs so I was countering with Italian Beef. 🤣
I should probably wake up more before commenting.
With the money they save in river dye they could paint the riverside with Italian beef, can you just imagine it?
Now I’m hungry.
Fuck yeah. What's your preferred place to get from? Johnnies is the one I'm most familiar with and enjoy.
Johnnies all the way.
Cheesy, no peppers for me. But if they wrapped them in paper and shot them with a T-shirt gun, I guarantee it would be popular.
This is really making me miss home. Maybe I'll move back in a few years.
