They were setting up for Santa in front of City Hall.

I loved the topiary nutcracker holding the presents, and when the woman walked by eating a pastry, I knew I had my shot.

I did not stay for the lighting of the Christmas tree, but I did capture this video of the city bus driving by the tree that the city lights up every first Friday in December.

How could I resist taking a snapshot of this huge Christmas ornament outside the Chamber of Commerce?

The American Clock Company is going out of business after many years of serving the community. It was the only place where I could get the battery replaced in my old watch. The guy who ran this old curiosity shop of clocks and timepieces also fixed my grandfather’s wall clock by installing a new battery-operated mechanism. This is one business that will be missed. When this guy walked by holding a bag of chips and a sandwich, I took the snap.
