Why do they still dye the rivers green for St. Patricks Day? It's not a good look for downtown Chicago.

Why do they still dye the rivers green for St. Patricks Day? It's not a good look for downtown Chicago. - Ask Lemmy - kbin.run

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.

Yes, Italian beef for St. Patricks day. Hahaha.

In all honesty I wouldn’t blame you. Or Chicago, they are super delish.

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?
