I hope the ice cream is fresher than what I got at Monkeys this summer - it tasted furry - when I told the girl at the counter she said “its supposed to taste like that” …. and I’m the tooth fairy….. if you can’t sell fresh product then you shouldn’t be in business

I agree that we should buy local. Give a gift certificate to a local restaurant, buy your cards and office gifts from a local merchant. Enjoy a Saturday downtown looking at the decorations and enjoy a coffee or light lunch. It is a nice way to enjoy the holiday without the rush of the mega malls and plazas. My family enjoy an outing to Lowell every holiday season for the aforementioned reasons.

The Festival Of Wreaths will be in the Masonic Hall today, directly behind Cobblestone’s. It is a fundraiser for the Lowell Transitional Center, “the shelter”. Local businesses decorated wreaths on display. They did aaaaa great job.

Watched the lighting of City Hall and the Christmas tree over at the Brewery from the top of Christian Hill with my daughter while listening to WCAP, but did my part to “Buy Local” by taking a road trip downtown to get take out from Darhma Buns after the crowds were gone. Yum!!!

There was actually a great vibe going on downtown yesterday with lots of people and families with children enjoying the events, checking out window decorations, enjoying 25 cent hot chocolate, listening to local choirs sing on the streets. I think all the downtown stores benefitted. Participants in the City of Lights made it appealing to “buy local”…….and what a great way to run into friends! Congrats to the organizers.

I enjoyed the parade,,,although it seemed very small compared to the last one my family attended (2006).
