Damn, turning a charming town into Times Square. There is a time and place for everything.A time for light and a time for darkness, a time for activity and a time for rest. What about saving electricity. Even LED.You know what, I am never going to spend my money in the CBD again. Even to buying gifts at Bookends, unless those lights are ripped out.

So much of this sounds line new-agey nonsense. Can the new council just pull the plug on everything the last council majority approved that hasn’t yet come to fruition?

First of all where did the hell did they get $250,000 ? Second I guess the Chamber and the Guild need all for their events? Next is the Gazebo donation
