St. Patrick’s Day parade celebrates Boston heritage in America’s most Irish big city. On Sunday March 16, 2025 Boston's streets were awash in a sea of green as the city celebrated its annual South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade. Recognized as one of the nation's most prominent observances of Irish heritage the event drew massive crowds underscoring Boston's deep-rooted Irish American community. The parade commenced at 11:30 a.m a deliberate shift to an earlier start time implemented by organizers aiming to foster a more family friendly environment. This change was part of a broader initiative to address concerns from previous years regarding public intoxication and disorderly conduct. In tandem with the adjusted schedule local establishments faced restrictions with bars required to cease entry by 6:30 p.m and halt alcohol service by 7 p.m.

The Last Breath of Winter The Snow's Whispers in the First Chapter That evening, the cold was relentless. The scent of burning wood and something else—something far more sinister—were carried by the howling wind, which sounded like a tortured soul. Asha pulled her scarf tighter around her face as she trudged through the snow-covered path leading to the abandoned cottage at the edge of the village. This one was different from her usual fascination with mysteries. The young man Aidan Blackwood, who had vanished ten years earlier on a winter night, was the subject of rumors that circulated throughout the town.

Beneath the Velvet Sky
The Disregarded Town Unaffected by the frantic pace of modern life, the little town of Elmsworth was nestled in the midst of rolling hills. A place where time moved slower, where lanterns flickered at night, casting golden halos on cobblestone streets. Because they were familiar with the legend—the tale of the girl who danced beneath the velvet sky—the residents of the town spoke softly at night. The Unknown Dancer A silhouette could be seen twirling in the meadows outside of town on certain nights, when the moon was low and the wind blew through the trees. The girl's movements, dressed in a flowing gown, were as graceful as a leaf blowing in the wind. She was allegedly a ghost or a spirit caught in an endless waltz, according to some. Others believed she was a lost soul, searching for something—or someone.

When people think of the word "atrocities" they think of events like Tiananmen Square, Rwanda, and 9/11. No one would argue otherwise. However, it's important to note that not all atrocities are world-impacting and in the history books. Some happen on a much smaller scale, but for those involved, they become their whole world. Atrocities like domestic violence and sexual abuse. Atrocities like domestic violence and sexual abuse. Like parricide, matricide, patricide, filicide.
