The Patriot’s Day parade from City Hall apparently ran into a bit of snag, but Mayor Walsh spoke at short ceremony on the plaza. Photos, videos and stories are shown below.

  1. growing up in the north end and as a teenager going out at night it was always comforting to see the lanterns lit at night during the spring and summer..as crazy as this sounds after getting in a little mischief once you were back in the north end or on your way home you saw those lanterns lit and you knew you were home..
