With what looked like a half million people on the two mile parade route down Center Avenue, it seemed like the reported count of 80,000 was in one block. Even for such a huge crowd, everyone was well behaved, happy and enjoying the warm weather.
Just for the fun of it, you might want to check out these St. Pat's stories from previous years. It's interesting just to see how digital cameras have evolved since 2002:

For another take on the subject of parades, check out what was going on in 1978 in this
