Crews are out working to treat roads, but as freezing rain and icy conditions continue, remember to practice safe winter driving.

Slow down, use caution while turning and on any expressway ramps, and remember to leave extra space for all vehicles, including plows!

I see that Franklin New Gothic has made its way to memes so now everyone will hate it. Which makes me sad because it worked really well for a bunch of online projects I did before retiring.

If I recall correctly, Lilli was kind of naughty.
Before Barbie, there was Bild Lilli, a 1950s German doll based on a comic strip and made for adults. Her design inspired Mattel’s Barbie, showing how one idea can evolve from novelty to global icon.

Dunno who needs to hear this, but when you're in search of old records from a specific locale, you probably think: historical society. You probably don't think: public library.
And you should. In lots of places, the library has a larger, older & better local history collection.
