The News-Herald is pretty good, too.

There is a 50 seat theater/classroom in Fenn, too.

There's already a new night club being planned for the former View.

Very nice. I wonder if the "secret" tunnel from City Hall to the Convention Center facilities will remain intact when complete.

Not bad. I am enjoying the Stearns Elevation. But the rest of it is not particularly exciting. Especially the Hays Elevation

Real. Interesting, my costume was partially inspired by Darth Vader. Yes, "Butch" is real. The puppy makes me thing of that commercial where the girl goes, "that ain't no puppy... it's to small to be a puppy" Very cute though

I had a ne'er-do-well, about 12 or so in age, come on the porch with nothing but his "ghetto" (for lack of a better term) clothes on. I asked him, "What are you dressed as?" He said - no joke, "A thug." I said, "Get your punk ass off my porch." End of story

We ran out of candy the first hour. Had more kids in that time span than all of last year. Wifey went to the corner drugstore to get more and all they had left was xmas candy. It was a merry xmas for everyone
