It IS a new year, and I was at the office bright and early on Monday, January 3. Just think, if we can get January behind us, we can make it til Spring gets here!..Lots of snow, wind, and cold ahead, but we can do it!. Another year comes to Coralville. So many local projects under way. Lots of new buildings coming to town in 2011. BIG news is the University of Iowa hospital/clinic to be built near the Marriott, but there are more. Another Hy-Vee grocery store is on the way, and I think we will see a lot more activity down by the Marriott in the River Landing area. This will be really something. And to think, when they built the Coralville Post Office in 1961, we had 2200 residents...Geez, we have the same post office and now we have 18,500 people!!!! What is the Postal Service thinking!! (they aren't) WE NEED A NEW POST OFFICE!!!
The new year came right on time, (go figure) and I THINK I was actually watching a tv show and realized it was 'the time'...No hoopla for me this year...Just another nite. We went to the annual Year End Party, which was at Flannigan's this year. Nice crowd, 80-100 coming and going. Then we had 12 people or so at Iowa River Power Restaurant (we walked down the hall from Flannigan's!!) and we had a nice dinner. Try the mushrooms!
Can you believe that the Big 10 lost all 5 bowl games on New Year's Day??.. I thought sure that Wisconsin would win. Glad I did not offer a bet! I DID accept a bet from a MIZZOU fan, and I won! That guy has to wear a Hawkeye hat to a business meeting on January 24. It will be fun!
Dust off your Coralville hat and do your best to take part in events this year, and as always, 'See you in Coralville'!.
