Officers don’t expect much trouble for St. Pat's

Kids these days.

They’re just not like they used to be—and that’s probably a good thing.

Whitewater’s city and university police departments are gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day. And while Wednesday’s weather might increase the number of people inclined to head for the bars, St. Patty’s Day just isn’t the boozy free-for-all it used to be.

“In the last few years, it really hasn’t been that much of an event,” said UW-Whitewater Police Chief Matthew Kiederlen.

Wednesday’s weather, however, is predicted to be sunny and about 60 degrees, and likely will increase the number of students inclined to drink.

“There are a lot of variables to the turnout, it sort of ebbs and flows,” said City of Whitewater Police Chief Jim Coan.

The Bistro is NEVER busy. That is not a good sign. Went once it wasn't very good. Diner service as well. Like Flo I mean. Sorry not to say all diner service is bad.

The VFW is having cornbeef and cabbage (John Roherty is cooking there now). If it's like when Rohertys Resturant made it, it will be yummy!

justme, I used to work at Hhffrrrggh Inn out by the DMV and Sports Complex in Janesville. When I worked there they served corned beef and cabbage for st. patty's day. I'm not sure if they still do, but you could probably call them and ask. Don't know why you'd want to eat it, though. That stuff smells terrible!
