Karen Boyce McCollum and her uncle Kevin McGillian performing at The Plough and Stars.
We had breakfast at the Plough and the Stars, watched Irish dancers and a flag-raising ceremony at the Irish Memorial, went to the supermarket for potatoes–George’s Shop ‘N Bag in Dresher, because we heard they had live Irish music in the bakery and they did–and had lunch with the 200 seniors who filled the ballroom at the Irish Center for ham and cabbage, shepherd’s pie, and a couple of different kinds of spuds and dessert, a joint production of the Irish Center, the Irish Immigration Center, and 11 stalwart volunteers.
Then, we took naps. It’s a grueling couple of weeks covering everything going on in Philly’s vibrant Irish community, but undeniable craic–Irish for fun.
We took our cameras with us, so you can see where we were on Tuesday.
What did you do?
