Hoboken Resident Asks for St. Patrick's Day Parade Back in Open Letter to the City

Hobokenite Sean Iaquinto argues why the parade should return.

Thousand of people are about to paint Hoboken green on Saturday.

And while the partying may resemble previous years, most people know by now that the parade will not be returning for the second year in a row. 

Opinions differ on the topic. From "Fine, because that day was too raucous" to "Why don't we do it on a weekday" "people will come and drink anyway so let's keep the parade!"
