Veterans park

I would like to say that Veterans park looks great!  I did like some of the old decorations to be honest and was looking forward to seeing the family of carolers lit by the spot lights, but these are very nice.  The park really shines.  I can not wait till some snow falls, whitens the ground and trees.  I will be in the park with the camera taking some low light photgraphs, and I will post them when I do.  By the way, I took the photo at the top of Positively Painesville.  

Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to wish all of you out there a Happy Thanksgiving. And to remember that there are people out there much less fortunate that you and I. Maybe take the time this holiday to thank someone that will be working through the holiday to make sure we are safe. Go to your local fire department and police stations and tell them that you are glad that they are working and not forgotten. As well, please take time to remember the men and woman in the military that also serve during the holidays. Maybe get a tray of veggies or cookies and take it to them. Box up some magazines and beef jerky and send it to the military serving abroad. Give thanks for what you truly are thankful and make sure those around you know, you will be repaid. God bless. JT

Favorite Painesville Wintertime memories!

A frequent contributor, DC, wrote that they would like to see a post for their favorite winter memories of Painesville.  Maybe you went sledding down Telegraph hill, driving through to see all the lights, maybe a Chirstmas Eve church service that is very pretty.  Whatever your winter memories feel free to write about them and share with the rest of us.  I would love to hear some stories of "Old Painesville" during it's hay day if there is anyone out there to help?  Thanks DC!

Painesville Holiday Open House review

Big success!! There were cars and people everywhere. Everyone behaved themselves and with a Salvation Army bell ringer working the scene and the light snow whisping about, it really felt like the holidays. The lights were all on and the area looked great. I really do love this affair and am counting the days till next year. Did not this used to be called something else in years gone by like "Men's night" or something like that? Maybe someone knows. Good Job Downtown Org. things went off well.

My favorite location...Grande Designs! The combo of the decorations, friendly owners and staff, coupled with the food and frivolity made for a wonderful time. Their attention to detail in the window design reminds me of the big cities that take time to change the window displays for the seasons. Great job guys!
