Catching your death.

Every year the Friday right after Thanksgiving they close Main street to car traffic and have music, food and all the stores stay open. It's called "The Christmas Stroll" and Santa and Mrs Claus ride up and down the street in a fire engine (He even waved to me this year).

We have art sculptures on every block downtown and I was happy to see that we also have somebody with a sense of humor.

@PhoenixSerenity @chris And rural businesses & families are paying the (short term) cost. A real rural strategy will be a long-term thing. Who can afford that? Not small businesses. Not families. Not rural & small town local govts. Not provincial govts on a 3-5 year election cycle. And the sowers of discontent (fascists & fellow-travellers) reap the whirlwind (and esp their funders & cronies). 2/2

#Trump & #Vance want #liberals to be #IvyLeague-educated people (which describes both members of the #Republican ticket but neither of the 2 #Democrats) who look down their noses at “flyover country” & disrespect the values of #SmallTowns & the #countryside. They absolutely do not want to deal w/a #liberalism that extols “#community” & “#freedom” (two of #Harris’s favorite words) & favors a #government active in areas where most voters favor more public #action to ease their circumstances.
