Here are some of the sights from last weekend’s first annual Pumpkinpalooza. The Chamber of Commerce and local businesses switched up the downtown Halloween event this year. In years past, local businesses put out candy for store-to-store trick-or-treating. The manager of one very prominent business owner told me that aspects of the past events actually [...]

In drizzly weather, the streets of downtown Plymouth were bustling with groups of people walking all over town. Everyone, wisely, had umbrellas. The crowd was made up of mostly couples, and many groups of couples. Not that age matters, but this was not a younger (teen, twenty-something crowd.) A lot of folks seemed to be [...]
USPS insolvent

This, admittedly, is a story with national implications that are far greater on that scale than the local issues our on the local scale. But, it is an issue that could significantly impact our community, especially since the downtown USPS branch is up for sale and, from what I’ve heard, not viable from an economic [...]

The Plymouth Fall Festival is right around the corner. If you’ve been a long-time reader of this blog — there are 2 or 3 of you — you might remember that Fall Festival is my favorite of all of Plymouth’s major festivals or gatherings. Maybe I like it because it’s a beautiful time of year. [...]

In the run up to this past weekend’s Art in the Park, I really had little to no interest in it. I probably felt like I had seen a lot of the art in years past. I also knew it would be hot and, quite honestly, I don’t like walking around on pavement in the [...]
The compass and Art in the Park

Art in the Park starts tomorrow. While I generally think that all the downtown events are good for the city to some degree, I think I have lost personal enthusiasm for this event. I hope it goes over well, and I hope it brings a lot of cash and cool people into the city. But [...]

I was at Plymouth’s annual Independence Day parade, Good Morning USA, this morning but I didn’t necessarily have the best seat in the house. I got a few shots that some might find interesting. The highlight for me, in terms of entertainment, were the two A-10 Warthog flyovers. Both were completely unexpected; from where I [...]

http://www.hometownlife.com/article/20110213/NEWS15/102130485/Green-fair-s-timing-causes-flap?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|Plymouth|s According to the Plymouth Observer, there’s a bit of a controversy over the timing of this year’s Green Street Fair: it falls on Mother’s Day weekend. Some businesses downtown are fearful that the massive crowds and the lack of parking space will keep away Mother’s Day diners and shoppers. The argument is that people [...]
