Viewfinder: A Little Irish in the North Shore

Even well before 5 o'clock, people were out celebrating their Irish pride.

With St. Patrick's Day upon us, the North Shore certainly had the luck of the Irish Thursday afternoon. We went out and captured all of the different shades of green on the street, in the stores, in the schools and yes- of course, in the bars. Regardless of how you choose to celebrate the holiday, Patch wishes you a happy St. Patrick's Day!
