How do you feel about a nativity scene being displayed at Kellogg Park, which is city property? I’m looking for respectful dialog on this issue, not personal attacks, attacks against people of faith or people without faith, etc. If you like the nativity scene and think it’s appropriate, say why. If not, and you care to [...]

Not that I’ve counted or anything, but it seems like there are more lights downtown this year than in years past. Most years I pay little attention to holiday lights, either in the city or in peoples’ yards. But since they put up the holiday lights this year, a week or so ago, I’m almost [...]

I’m not much for holiday decorations. I’m a Scrooge when it comes to Christmas. But I like seeing the The Three Wisemen aka the Magi making their way from east to west through Kellogg Park. They have, quite fittingly, started their journey before the leaves are all off the trees. It’s a long way from [...]

Anyone familiar with Plymouth history probably knows that our town is known for b-b gun manufacturing. The Red Ryder gun of A Christmas Story (maybe the best Christmas comedy ever) fame was made here in Plymouth. The Plymouth Historical Museum will be honoring that history, tying it into other themes from the movie, in an [...]
Happy Easter

Easter is a special day for many of us. Regardless of how (or why) you celebrate the holiday, I sincerely hope it is wonderful. My favorite hymn is “Amazing Grace” and my favorite way it is played is on the bagpipes. I get a lump in my throat everytime. Enjoy.
The Duchess starring Keira Knightley (or Fat Squirrels)
Posted in downtown Plymouth, holidays, Uncategorized, tagged downtown Plymouth, holidays, Penn Theater, winter on January 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been itching to write, but I haven’t seen anything going on in town the last few days of any particular interest. I noticed, though, that the Penn Theater is showing The Duchess, starring Keira Knightley. Seeing the movie poster reminded me that I don’t think I have ever seen Ms. Knightley in anything other [...]

I may or may not be posting before the New Year. If not, have a wonderful, safe and fun New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Here’s Auld Lang Syne for your (or mine, anyway) listening pleasure.
The Three Wise Men

I’m not the world’s biggest Christmas fan, at least not how it is outwardly expressed and celebrated. I think it’s great that people decorate their homes and that cities like ours make their downtowns festive and bright. The lights, the creches, the snowflakes are enjoyable, nice to look it, but they don’t make the holiday [...]
