St. Patrick's Scene: Paddy's and Hooligan's, part two
Five hours after my initial inspection, the East Side has done an "Irish 180." The streets are no longer quiet. Overgrown leprechauns are stumbling around North Ave., and given the unseasonably warm temperatures, it feels a little like the first day of Summerfest out there, but greener.

St. Patrick's Scene: Paddy's and Hooligan's
I expected to see the normal mobs of drunken St. Paddy's Day revelers on my way into work, clogging up North Avenue and filling my office parking lot. But other than one girl, dressed in green from head to toe, the streets were devoid of shenanigans and plenty of good parking was still available at 8:30 a.m.

Where's the freshest Guinness?
During the winter months, my beverage of choice is Guinness. Last night I had a pretty fresh pint at Paddy's Pub, 2339 N. Murray Ave., and I have always been impressed with the Guinness at Brocach, 1850 N. Water St. I'm wondering which other locales guarantee a fresh tap of this delicious Irish stout?
