BOSTON — Thousands of people dressed in green swarmed the streets of Boston on Sunday to see the 117th annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. The parade route was shortened this year due to last week’s nor’easter, The Boston Globe reported. The snow did not diminish the turnout or dim the enthusiasm of the paradegoers as they also faced temperatures in the low 30s. A man from a local radio station held a giant cutout of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as people in the crowd cheered wildly.
