Bay Ridge St. Paddy’s Parade and Gerry Kassar
WEIRD
For most of Bay Ridge, the St. Patty’s Day Parade was about celebrating culture and community. For Gerry, head of the NYS Conservative Party, the parade was about politics and seeing if there was going to be a revival. It’s not happening Gerry.
We didn’t attend the breakfast at St. Pats. At the parade, Marty accompanied Assemblywoman Malliotakis. We were in a busy area – no one cheered Malliotakis because she represents the other side of the neighborhood and people don’t know her at this side. And no one cheered for Marty. Marty came over and shook hands with people. People said hello to him as they would to a neighbor.
People cheered for Max Rose LOUDLY and called out to him to come over to them. We were on several blocks where this happened. I was surprised how well Rose was received here.
Our area cheered for the scouts, called over Max Rose and called out to Councilman Brannan. Everyone cheers for the parade mascot, Seamus Butler and every bagpipe group got applause.
This parade was one of the most spirited and well attended ones I have been to in Bay Ridge.
Hugs,
