Thanksgiving Morning on Pearl Street

A slow Thanksgiving morning as we wait to see what kind of business today brings. A trip to the Nice and Easy to pick up a NY Post and I saw stacks of those $2.25 Wednesday papers waiting to be picked up.
Came back to open Fort Pearl and put the "open today" sign out front....While puttering around I noticed a Yuengling surf board I got during a brewery tour while on vacation last summer was missing. A nice piece I made the mistake of sharing with others...Should have kept it in a closet.
No matter how many times it happens, having something stolen is always a personal violation.
Pulled out some Christmas decorations and of course when you plug in the lights they don't work...They did last year...I like the old giant size bulbs and not the little twinkly ones so popular today.
This year the classic 60's aluminum tree goes up. The shiny icon of the Sputnik era can be called an X-mas Tree without offending anyone....Its that commercial looking. A HOTLINE caller on Ives Street donated it to me years ago. It was purchased at Weston's Shoppers City for you of that era.
Waiting for the first customer and looking forward to rooting for the Lions in hopes they do Jets fans a favor and crush the Pats !

Happy Thanksgiving Mister Mayor.

We the people wish you an enjoyable and relaxing day!

On behalf of all the liberal minds who never make any sense and the conservatives who are right every stinkin' time, have a good day!

re: "I saw stacks of those $2.25 Wednesday papers..."

Seems to me, Mayor, in an 'unintended consequences' sort of way, this Wa'rTown Times issue is an admission that the paper has decided to compete with the US Postal Service in delivery of junk mail since it is unable to compete with other news outlets.
