Lucky’s Alma Mater During the 1840’s in Ireland, there was a terrible potato famine. Many people died. Those who didn’t came to America, where the streets were “paved with gold.” Or in this case, potatoes. When the Irish arrived here, however, they found the streets were not paved with gold, or even the beloved potato. The storeowners and other employers would not hire the Irish because the Irish like to drink aplenty. It is true that Ireland is home to some of the finest beer in world, and the Irish drink it; often. There are, many alcoholics Irishmen. But there are alcoholic Americans, too. However, when the Irishmen get inebriated, they tell stories and sing traditional Irish songs. To elaborate, the songs and stories are a big part of Ireland’s rich culture.
