New Year's Eve 2009

Good morning, everyone, it's 12:00am. Happy New Year's Eve to all! Just one more day until 2010 (and I'm thanking goodness for that)! I'm happy that we're going into a new year. I hope that the ecomony gets better and that we have alot less crime in Avondale and Logan Square. It's been too crazy in '09. Well, anyway, we'll just be here for New Years. It'll be quiet. Our friends are partying elsewhere this year. Also, as you may imagine, this is the last day until December 1, 2010 that I'm doing Christmas colors. So, here's crime on this last day of 2009.

If you could do this, that'd be great. I call it "community reports" on big holidays such as this one. I'll publish any and all reports in a special post, unless you really don't want me to. Thank you!
