Evergreen Park Says "No"

Oh well:

• Chicago's South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade is still looking for a home.

  After organizers decided that it would no longer hold the parade that had grown too large for the neighborhood, neighboring Evergreen Park was considering taking over as host.

  But Mayor James Sexton says a survey showed residents were split 50-50 on taking on the parade so officials decided to drop the matter.

Skip it next year and see if anyone misses it. Give the parade committee a chance to start a new tradition more suited to the neighborhood. Then see what 2011 brings.
