2006 Irish Channel St. Patrick's Parade Photos

A week late, but below are some photos I took during my participation in the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Parade. The turnout seemed less than usual on St. Charles but seemed as crowded or maybe even more crowded than pre-KTMB times on Magazine. Politicians (and/or potential politicians) were on the prowl at the parade. I saw Arnie Fielkow in the staging area and talked to Oliver Thomas who was making the rounds pre-parade. Just like Mardi Gras, this event not happening in 2006 looked to be a real possibility back in the Fall.
