Earlier this week, Hoboken's public safety official lamented what happened during this past Saturday's St. Patrick's Day parade (Hoboken hold their parade early)—an affair that included public urination from rooftops, a couple having sex in public view, and a lot of drunkenness—and suggested the parade wasn't worth the trouble. Other residents might agree, like this person who put up a notice in his/her apartment building, The Summit, to question the chaos a neighbor's house party had brought. NJ.com has a photo of the notice, via "Duffy's bartender Chris Halleron in his "Derelict of the Week" newsletter (he did not post the letter himself; he just sent out the photo of it on his newsletter)." Read the rest of the letter here.
Some more photographs of parade revelry were taken by one man who attempted to watch the parade, but was instead assaulted by some other people.
