nothing seems to be going on this year

I'm really sorry to put this out but I am a journalist and
personally, I'd skip Punxsutawney entirely this year.
Most of the "events" listed are crap and most of the
sponsored "happenings" are little more than
advertisements for fast food.

I'm staying home and watching the 10 seconds of Phil
on TV and the rest of the day watching the super bowl
at home or possibly on a sports bar.

As far as groundhog day goes, it hasn't been worth
attending for several years. I kept hoping it would
recover and sincerely hope the
CoC turns this around but downtown is dead and
GHD is dying.

GHD used to be a LOT of fun.

Punxy is a nice small town, a wonderful place to live,
but all it really offers on GHD NOW is a place for a few
old folks to show their kids and a few
drunken college kids to get faced and the town has
been cracking down on that so much it really isn't much
fun unless you are under 10 or over 25.

I remember when tens of thousands showed up- it was a fun party
 and also, more recently when you could sit in Barkely
Sq. and not see anyone walk by for 15 minutes.

Sorry, GHD is DEAD. I really, REALLY hope it gets revived someday.

Obviously, I'm not particularly popular in town these days.
