Local Bicentennial Edges Toward Thoughtful Celebration
Residents react to the upcoming 200th birthday with cautious enthusiasm. A Journal-World poll of 34 locals shows broad support for marking the bicentennial while questioning how to celebrate. Suggestions include a memorial sidewalk, a library history, a mural, public works, and aid for the needy, with concerns about excess commemoration and commercialization.
