Islanders Community Steps Up For Offside Tavern

St. Patrick's Day is always one of my favorite days of the year. Go figure, with a last name like O'Leary it's pretty easy to see why I love the holiday. It's a celebration of Irish heritage and it's a day where everyone can go to their local bar, dress in green, listen to some bagpipes and have a pint of their favorite beverage. Not this year.

This year is different. With the Coronavirus, people are advised to stay in their homes and President Trump suggested that people not gather in groups of 10 or more. Naturally, that cuts the bar out of the equation.
