LATER, in another Philadelphia tradition, Judge Jimmy Lynn held his traditional St. Patrick’s Day morning celebration on Wednesday, the day itself. Music and dancing got the day off to a lively start. JUDGE LYNN’S lavish is in the “full Irish style at The Plough & the Stars restaurant in Old City. Some hearty revelers took the liberty of sampling a Guinness or an Irish whisky along with their coffee. It’s a must-be-seen event for politicos along ordinary Hibernians.WARD LEADER Matt Wolfe, L, thanked Judge Jimmy Lynn for bringing back his commemoration of all that’s green in city life. The judge donates all proceeds from the breakfast to St. Francis de Sales Church & School in West Philadelphia, where Wolfe is a parishioner.
