POST 200! Yes, this is the 200th Blog About Town post, counting the mysterious "ghost post" of December 3, 2002. Ah, those were the days....

All the hooplah reminds me of another big anniversary: The American Bicentennial. The debate still rages as to whether it was a blast or a bust. I know Central School District #4 on Long Island tried to make it memorable, though I don't quite recall what the schools did. Oh yeah...there was probably at least one time capsule buried, perhaps where a Marriott Residence Inn stands today.

Here's a Bicentennial page that captures much of the excitement of that time. And don't miss these license plates!
