Decrying what he called an ' 'anything goes' attitude' by celebrants at Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade, City Councilor Ed Flynn posted on social media that many of the nearly 1 million parade-goers 'do not treat residents of South Boston with respect.
Floats and vehicles make their way along the parade route as spectators watch during the St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday, March 17 in South Boston.
"If we are not able to meet basic standards of decency and respect the South Boston neighborhood, the parade should be moved out of South Boston indefinitely," he added. People are blanketed with falling confetti during opening ceremonies for the 2014 St. Patrick's Day parade in South Boston. While Flynn does not have the authority to move the parade route, he said he will keep up his appeals to move the parade to downtown Boston if the atmosphere doesn't"meet basic standards of decency."
