A Christmas Memory: Role reversal brings best Christmas ever Those Christmas Eve family drives to see the lights of town always meant a special visitor would have worked his magic before the family returned. Until that age came when she, the youngest of her sibs, lost faith in the Santa Claus. Fast forward 40 years, when a role reversal brought back memories of those early years and the best Christmas ever for her dad, and memories the author will forever treasure. Click on headline for whole story By Donna Rieder My parents started a family Christmas tradition when my oldest sister was little, and continued it until I, the youngest of three kids, lost faith in the "Santa Claus." Every Christmas Eve after dinner, we'd all pile into the car and drive around looking at the Christmas lights and decorations in the neighborhood. Dad always arranged for a neighbor to come over when we left, and put all our presents and toys under the tree, so that when we got home, Santa would have visited. We kids always ate dinner quickly and never fussed about getting the dishes done, because we knew as soon as we got home from our ride, we'd have a surprise awaiting us!

Drivers ignore posted 35 mph on Liberty Road/Fairground Street Wayne armitage writes: The speed limit on 206 is 35 mph. When you come into town and cross Russell Creek from the top of the hill to Green Hills Road, there are signs posted at the top of the hill before Russell Creek that say 35, yet drivers come down the hill at 55 or 60 mph. If the city Police or Sheriff's department would start running radar on that stretch of road it would slow down traffic. It would cut down on any accidents at 206 and Green Hills Road. If Drivers would learn to stop and look at STOP SIGNS it would help. - Wayne ArmitageComments re article 63784 Says 25 mph limit for Fairground Street unreasonable Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2013-12-06 18:02:04 | Comments Submission Checklist: Please see RATES & TERMS before submitting Classifieds
