She hitched a ride in the parade.
Parade-goers staked out their spots on Saxer Avenue in Springfield, Delaware County, hours before the first marching band turned on to the street at Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. They were buying bottled water at the Wawa at the corner and, the closer it got to noon, eyeing pizza slices through the windows of Drexel Hill and Thunderbird Pizza.
It was so warm and sunny, most people were shrugging off the winter coats they donned out of habit that morning. And residents along the Sycamore-lined street were setting up tables, chairs, kegs and even barbecues—the Irish version of the lawn party.
We were there and took loads of photos.
