The Groundhog Saw Its Shadow, and Thoughts on the Village Centre

What would you like to see spruced up in the Village Centre?

Just to let everyone know - we are going to have 6 more weeks of this winter - yeah! The groundhog saw its shadow.

On a different note, with actual spring a month or so away my thoughts go to sprucing up.  Our Village Centre is looking so good with all the new windows, paint jobs and awnings, but what about our streetscape? 

As visitors, residents and shop owners what would you like to see in our downtown?  Purloin Studio put out a handpainted bench last summer and found that people would just stop and sit for a while. People strolling the sidewalks and taking a moment to sit and watch everything going on makes for a great picture.  Sometimes the guys would sit while the wives or ladyfriends would shop. We take our bench inside at night, but by that time people are heading to the restaurants to sit. has outdoor seating on the Appleton Ave side and I have enjoyed seeing people chatting and eating at their tables.
