Goodbye, Old Friend.
Maybe you haven't ridden by the corner of Seventh St and Freeport Rd lately, and if that's the case, this news may be quite shocking for you. So please brace yourselves.
The wall is coming down.
No, not that wall.
We are talking about THE wall that is known throughout the NewKdom. Yep, the Biff wall.
Work has begun on bringing it down, brick, by beautiful Pepto-bismol colored brick.
This is usually the part of the post where we find out why it's coming down, and give you all the details. Unfortunately for you, we don't give a damn what's gonna happen in this space.
We only feel bitterness for not being a part of this wall's history, by never replacing the historic words of "I 💓 Biff" upon it when it got painted over.
This, is our only regret.
May we all make it our life's mission to pass along what we've learned to those we love. The young generation. The innocent minds of tomorrow's youth.
It is our duty.
And props to you, TJH. The final artist of many.
We aren't sure when the whole put your initials under it started, but it worked out in your case.

Christmas Makes theNewk Grow Fonder
Yeah, we're back.
But don't get too excited. We are super important these days, and don't have the time to babble silly rantings to our thousands of adoring fans.
Who are we kidding. We ain't got crap going on.
So anyways, why we are breaking our silence...
It's Christmas time!
We love Christmas.
Here is a little info we'd like to share really fast with you...
Tonight at 5:30, the city will be lighting the Christmas tree down by the clock on 9th. We know, we know, the clock doesn't work. But that's not what is important here.
After the tree ceremony, the Mayor is hosting his annual free dinner at the fire hall on 4th. So go eat!
Then tomorrow morning, the big event. The Christmas parade! Sadly, we won't be a part of it again this year, and we are sorry to deprive this fair town of the North Pole's Biggest Elf. Followed by Santa's Workshop at the community college.
Get out and have fun.
Bye for now...

Huge thanks to the fine folks at The River Community Church for their city litter cleanup this weekend. The city shines ever more brightly due to your charitable act. Well done.
