An annual tradition: The early morning St. Patrick’s Day parade in Healdsburg

A happy horde of pre-dawn revelers chased a solo bagpiper around the Healdsburg Plaza this St. Patrick's Day, March 17. And they called it a parade. In fact, it was the official 23rd annual B&B Lounge St. Patrick's Day Parade replete with a queen, horses, dogs, green-haired Rotarians, sleepy babies, boisterous imbibers, some of Healdsburg's finest and hundreds of less-refined emerald-clothed citizenry. Coffee appeared to be the favored drink on the chilly Saturday morning, but a few pints of Guinness and Irish whiskeys were shared as well. The revelers, as has become a mischievous custom, blared horns and whistles to wake and startle the wine country guests of the plaza-side Hotel Healdsburg, who were spied in their white robes from their balconies unsure of what the street mob below was up to. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all.

Killing for a View: Arboricide Alleged

When a dying oak tree branch was removed, the tree worker climbed down from the ladder and asked the owners if they were trying to kill the tree. “He then pointed out drilled holes on the side of the trunk facing our neighbor’s house, originating just over the height of the fence. These holes were overflowing with, according to our tree expert, a form of herbicide intended to poison and ultimately kill the tree.”
