2010 Is Already Looking Brighter

That's right.

2010 is looking good for many reasons.

But, there is some news in particular that
brightened our day.

It seems the city of New Kensington received
a rather large grant, to replace and update many
of the lights that line the fine streets of NK.

See, back in the 80's, New Ken installed a whole
bunch of mercury vapor lights.


Many of those lights are burnt out, and are
quite outdated, in comparison to the newer
LED lights that lead the way in the luminary world.

The new LED upgrade will also save the city a nice
chunk of change in yearly energy costs.

(Maybe they could use that money to lower my water bill.)

Just a thought.

But the biggest difference the new lights will make,
is the city streets will be about 6 times brighter.

Not only will it look better, it will be safer as well.

Hey, anything that helps bring some new businesses
down there, is a plus in our eyes.

To be honest, we'd love to be smart enough to start
a business that we could open down there.

We see the city making a great move forward, and we'd
love to get in before there aren't any spots left.

We see you snickering.
Knock it off.


They hope to have all the lights fully installed by
September or October of this coming year.

We'd like to say "good job," to any and all people
that had something to do with this.

We look forward to basking in the new found glow.

We almost forgot.

Have a safe and happy NewK Years Eve!

Don't do anything we wouldn't do.

(Which to be honest, isn't many things.)
