Ok, what else... oh, the nightmares have already begun after reading about the potential remake of Full House. No joke, Uncle Jesse has apparently begun work on the project. I'm also concerned about the credibility of Danny Tanner after watching that "Rollin' with Saget" video with Jamie Kennedy!
Finally, two neighborhoods in Milwaukee are considering printing their own money which would be used only at local stores, thus stimulating the local economy. I've heard of this other towns trying this... I'm not sure how it worked out for them, but wouldn't it be easier to just give neighborhood folks a small discount?
Anyway, that's all I have for this week... there are a ton of preservation stories this week, as well as some good stuff form out of state.
Till next time,
