| Having a snack at Freds. |
Yesterday was New Year's Eve. We started the day at home doing some moving furniture and I just put the cat tree together. Its now next to one of the windows so the cats can watch all the birds outside. It was the mildest day this month, the snow is melting steadily. I went to Bogarts for a bit and got some baked treats.
Bogarts is one of the best places here in Millville and I am glad that I live SO close and walked on High Street to get some items. We chilled out then went to Fred's to celebrate the new year. As usual, the dinner was fantastic. We all had brownies and fruit salad for desert. It was a nice way to start the new year. More photos from our New Year's can be
seen here. You can see how the the new year was spent
last year. Here is Dec 31st for
2008 and
2007. Evey year is different and I am sure that this year will be no different. Its going to 50 today which will be nice. The snow is going away. I see Gov Christie is going though is 1st political misstep in connection with the recent snowstorm. I am sure he will survive this.
The Daily Journal made its predictions for Millville.
Here is the summery.
Officials in the Holly City have endured a difficult year of budget cuts, which limited local services and cut back employees' hours. But there is one glimmer of hope slated for the summer -- the reopening of the Levoy Theatre.
City officials have long believed the reopening of the theater would benefit the Glasstown Arts District. Shannon said he will commit himself to the local businesses in 2011 and plans to have a meeting for the owners at City Hall on Jan. 5 to discuss their issues.
"If you get a strong downtown, it fuels the tank," he said. "I want to see it improve and prosper." "I am so excited about the Levoy," said Mayor Tim Shannon
Shannon said one of his top concerns is whether the state keeps the Urban Enterprise Zone program going, which allows participating businesses in the city's district to charge 3.5 percent sales tax and distribute the money to the city to use for economic development grants and loans.
The city did not raise municipal taxes this year and Vice Mayor Joe Derella said it's too early to make any predictions on next year's budget. What the city does will depend largely on its support from the state, he said.
Derella also said he hopes the city can attract a developer along the Maurice River to begin the next phase of its downtown revitalization project. But everything will depend on when the economy improves, he said
Here we are welcoming the New Year.
We do plan to visit family in Fortesque New Jersey today in this 50 degree weather. The dogs will of course join us and frolic on the beach.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.
