Syracuse, N.Y. A year ago, people started lining up at 8 a.m. to get into Coleman’s Irish Pub on Green Beer Sunday. By 2 p.m., the slow-moving line stretched three blocks on the sunny 50-degree afternoon.
We didn’t wear masks or spray our hands with sanitizer. We didn’t stand 6 feet apart from our friends and family. The full-to-capacity bar and dining rooms overflowed into the large parking lot above.
What a difference a year makes.
