Episode 79 – It’s Christmastime
Argh! We start off – by missing the first 10 minutes of our conversation. Totally my fault. We didn’t even notice that it wasn’t recording. At least it was only the first topic, which was the disappointing concert we attended on Saturday night. Definitely wasn’t as good as a couple years ago.
Then we talk about how the city of Lorain seems to be trying to make itself better. We know a lot about urban planning and improving a city because we play Simcity. 🙂

We start discussing our decorations and Christmas plans. Next year we’d like to have a contest to create the coolest light display that we program ourselves.

[00:00:37] Alan: they’ve made a point.
[00:00:39] Stephen: We missed our whole talk on first snow. Forgot to record. Go on. It’s we’re talking about first snow, which we didn’t completely enjoy and yeah,
[00:00:50] Alan: if it was coming in late, yeah. We went to see first know, which is TSL covered. And they were good, but not great. And so we were happy that we paid less than what you pay for TSL, because it was worth that.
[00:01:02] Stephen: So anyway, but you were talking about Lorraine. I love where you’re going.
[00:01:04] Alan: I mean, a whole bunch of things to talk about here. I’ve always loved little downtowns. I grew up in Chicago and where each of the downtowns we lived in the Chicago suburbs and elk Grove didn’t really have a little downtown, but some of the older suburbs, like Arlington Heights and display and so forth, had a nice downtown and it was worth taking the train to it or drive into it.
[00:01:23] Alan: And especially now, like for Christmas, where. Four or six blocks. You just had all kinds of fun, little boutique-y stores. There was almost always a bookstore, a toy store, places that worked for my geek case. They had what I wanted. There might be an ice cream story of in the middle of winter. I’ll go and get a basket of Robbins.
[00:01:38] Alan: I seen whatever was wrestlers around here in Ohio. That was in Chicago too. Anyway, I love when they, that we’ve been in a number of them from our travels all around the United States. Sometimes you really find a town that’s cut down on its luck. And it’s always a little bit sad. There are some places restaurants or, or the one car dealer that are hanging on, but they didn’t make that big plan as a community.
[00:02:00] Alan: You say, we’re just not going to let this happen. We’re not gonna let Walmart hollow out our downtown, come on everybody. We need a coffee shop. We need a clothing store. I don’t know how they do it. They support it. They do cross selling between the various different...
