So far- I've heard of only a couple of arrests- one for an open container of alcohol- at Kansas City's annual St. Patrick's Day parade.
No shootings and so far- just one assault call.
The new route down Broadway from 33rd to 43rd Streets brought out the crowds- up to 10 deep in spots-but not enough shuttle busses to get the crowd there.
Amazingly- parade organizers only hired TWO SHUTTLE BUSSES to take people from Union Station to the parade route.
At least a thousand people were gathered at Union Station this morning waiting for busses- some left- then a couple of school buses were pressed into service by parade officials.
Otherwise- temperatures in the 70's under blue skies made this one of the most pleasant St. Patrick's Day parades in years.
