They’re very smart in their planning: the St. Patrick’s Day 5K is before all of the partying.

It would be ugly (and messy) if it were the other way around.

See why we’re calling Mark Cuban “Daddy”.

You know that Mark Cuban came to the rescue for our St. Patrick’s Day Parade, right?

Because he is like North Texas’ Dad, and we’re all just showing up to ask for money & do our laundry.

Sorry Mark but you know it’s true.

Anyhow, the parade will be on Greenville Avenue like always & the Dallas Observer‘s going to have a party in Energy Square again.

You’ll need tickets to get into that. And there’s a St. Patrick’s Day 5K before all of that so go get all the details at dallasobserver.com.
