Chicago on. St paddys weekend

never been at that time, but that would surely be a fun time to go.

It's really fun, but the weather is really unpredictable in the middle of March here.

I've been here when it's been 70 and sunny on St. Patrick's Day and I've been here when it's been 25 and snowing six inches on that day as well.

It probably isn't all that much more expensive, if at all, during that weekend. The city is huge, so it absorbs those extra visitors without a hit on price.

It's fun as hell, though. One of the days I most look forward to living here.

I went a few years ago. It was absolutely freezing.

I don't remember things being more expensive, but I used points for the flights and hotels.

Everybody was completely shitfaced well before lunch. They have a parade with about 6,000 Irish dancers. And they dye the river, of course.

But most of all, it is just bone chilling cold.

Sounds like it could be fun depending on how you look at it. Don't necessarily want to deal with snow but I really wanted to catch a hawks game before the season ends.

Chicago is awesome. Definitely has bad areas...but a shite hole? Shut up.

beers are stupid expensive. Its extremely touristy. I know of a lot of people who come down to st louis for it since its way cheaper and still a blast.

Growing up in Chicago, this was always a huge weekend for us. Some years were more memorable than others when the weather was decent (high 50s - low 60s). Always a great time though.

I been there. They dye the river green and drink a bunch of green beer. Don't get shot. That sucks!
