Fireworks over the Delaware River, 12.31.10
This is my 20th New Year’s Eve in Philadelphia and we started with a peek from a friend’s deck at the early fireworks over the Delaware. Another show is scheduled for midnight. Happy New Year!
Winter on Independence Mall

Drifting snow twirls around pedestrians passing Independence Mall on Market Street in Philadelphia this morning.
It’s snowing in Maine!
Posted by: | CommentsWhile I was in Maine a few days ago, I live-streamed video from my brother’s bird feeder, but it was really a squirrel who stole the show, and a lot of the food. Jump to the last half-hour to see the most birds, and the last ten minutes for the squirrel.
Idiot Village: Philadelphia city officials take down Christmas, sort of

Politically Correct Village
In a feeble attempt to please everybody, Philadelphia city officials responded to complaints from some city workers and other citizens by ordering the removal of the word “Christmas” from the Christmas Village signs at Philadelphia City Hall, where they are still hosting the Christmas Village you can find at, well, http://www.philachristmas.com/
They plan to replace it with a “Holiday Village” sign, but apparently not at the same time, and so for now it just says “Village.”
Oh, holiday tree.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the village, city workers continued to string Christmas lights on a Christmas tree, as “Oh, Christmas Tree” and other Christmas carols continued to play on the audio system.
