When we think of the major #SaintPatrick's Day parades, it is naturally those of #NewYork & #Boston.

So, if #Holyoke, #Massachusetts (2nd-largest in the country) is not on their radar screens (https://www.thereminder.com/features/page2feature/second-largest-st-patricks-day-parade-in-nation-re/), you can be pretty sure they are not thinking of #Savannah, #Georgia, which lays claim to being the second-oldest in the world (https://www.savannahsaintpatricksday.com/)

You are welcome.

Despite arxiv, scihub, etc. STEM has it's kept gates too:

Recently interviewed John Goodhue, Exec. Dir. Holyoke Green High Performance Computing Center.

In prep, I requested copies of some paywalled papers he authored.

Goodhue:
"I don’t have institutional access to the IEEE site, and it is remarkably resistant to my attempts to pay for copies of the papers that you asked for."
He could not even BUY papers he was an author of.

For several months now I've been making a disorganized but concerted effort to document all the graffitti along the floodwalls and canals in Holyoke. I've got an essay idea and want desperately to interview a few of the artists, who are smart to avoid me like the plague. My fine motor skills relegate me to a mere button pusher. If anyone can put me in contact I promise to do my best to maintain source confidentiality. Email in profile. #holyoke #graffiti #12ozprpphets #bombingscience #banky
