Where did all the snow go?

Welcome to Maryland weather. It was only a week ago when we were toughing it out under almost two feet of snow.

All last week, news accounts trickled-in from throughout the state of various local governments having a tough time clearing the snow for Christmas week.

Not so in Westminster. On Sunday, December 20, 2009, Uniontown Road in Westminster was already a bare road less than 12 hours after the snow stopped; thanks to the great work of the Westminster MD Street Department.

And our front sidewalk has been cleared thanks to our new neighbors across the street.

Yes, we have every older person’s dream come true – a nice very young couple has moved-in just across the street.

As the New Year approaches and we look back upon local history, we're reminded that the good old days weren't always that good, and the more things change, the more they remain the same:

A Dec. 30, 1971, article in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate noted that, "Unknown burglars broke into the J.C. Penny department store over the weekend, ransacked the offices, and stole a $1.59 flashlight from the basement work table, the Westminster city police reported.
