 PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY -- March 7, 2026

© 2026 Luke T. Bush

Way back in the day Plattsburgh City was a mecca for partygoers on St. Patrick's Day.  Revelers thronged the streets.  People visited from  all over.  They believed the story Plattsburgh City was mentioned in Playboy magazine as the best place to celebrate the day when everyone is Irish.  One time I spotted the Plattsburgh State University president standing in line to enter a popular establishment to grab a beer.  (Maybe it was green.)  

With such a massive gathering problems arose. Stories about a bonfire in the street, a concentrated crowd in a bar buckling the floor, and a driver who didn't see a stop sign thus letting his car trailblaze through the college campus.

To deal with the problems many years ago the college vacation was moved up a week so that the students wouldn't be around to celebrate.  Now St. Pat's is observed locally by students just before their break.

Despite the earlier celebration students still enjoy themselves.  No need for throngs to have fun.

Pay Attention

 

Half-Ass

 

Step 1: Bag dogshit.  Step 2: Properly dispose bagged dogshit.

But for some people step 1 is enough for them.  Just toss the bag on the ground and let someone else pick it up.  The same kind of person who uses a public toilet but doesn't flush after they're done.  Let someone else take care of it.  There's a scientific term for this individual: pig.
