David at the Antique Mall is wearing a sweater straight from Ireland today, and that's no blarney! His has the lucky shamrock right there, emblazoned on his chest to prove it.
The Eagle's Club on Wells St. is a great place to get a casual well drink and play some poker, hang out with some old time Rentonites and probably a few Italian/Irish.
Today only, Common Ground Cupcakes and Coffee are featuring Green Velvet Cupcakes - and I stopped by already to do some inspection - and I give them the official green light for goodness.
Pinching may occur today, so sport your green. Or, go one step further and get your Irish Accent Breath Spray, available today while supplies last at Happy Delusions on S. Third. Tell Mary that The Picarron sent ya - maybe she'll take pity on you and pronounce you "Irish" for the day, and still pinch you for such blarney 'cuz with as many Irish immigrants having 12 kid families back in the day, we are
ALL a little Irish!
The Dog and Pony will feature Leprechaun Throwing (Aimee says that Lindsay goes first) and Jay, the owner, will be cooking up some Irish food favorties. The Tapestry Saloon will be having Guinness for $4, rueben sandwiches and the other cornbeef wonders. DC 's Bar and Grill will be having some fun and games tonight, like shuffle board, and special snacks, no cover. Caution to be had it you think to head for Finnegan's as they will have you dish out $20 if you arrive anytime after one this afternoon - ouch!!
Those are just a few of the highlights for our zipcode today, my friends - drink wisely and drive safely - Happy St. Patricks Day!

Where to get your lovelies...
Renton has more antique shops per capita than any place I have lived - and I take full advantage. Downtown Renton Antique Mall is one of my personal favs - my 1950's canary yellow dinette set that I bought when I moved back here began the love affair. Don't just think "antique", think vintage, think trendy, think thrifty - stock covers all angles here. The owner, Beverly, and No. 1 employee, Fred the cat, love visitors and furry friends are welcome (Fred enjoys dogs). Outside of the goodies that Beverly contributes herself (75% or so) , there are also 18 consignees that add to the shopping mix. Why buy new? After 17 years of serving the Downtown Renton crowd - they probably have it all or at least, seen it all.
