    You know your city is special when they make a meme about what y'all do for (hint: we drop a pineapple)

    First, this town lost its Macy’s. Then Sears. Now, all eyes were on J.C. Penney. - The Washington Post

    Got to host my good friend for a few days. We spent NYE weekend walking the beach in jeans, ice skating at UTC and watching the SRQ pineapple drop.

    Good morning from the newsroom. I'm welcoming 2018 with some new desk gear. Chip's a bit more friendly than my usual Jack Skellington, eh?

    Just visited Lidl in South Carolina. Definitely some nice presentations, and wide aisles make it feel very easy to get around.

    Our most read articles of 2017 include stories of great accountability journalism, community tragedy and a lot of things that are just so . Great job by all my colleagues covering the news this year.

    That time I spoke at the Bay Village Men's Club and they presented me with a giant collage of all my columns (see cover photo) would also be on that list -- but I don't think it qualifies. I didn't actually write a column about that.

    I'm accepting applications for a new "work husband" and drowning my sorrows in a jar of chocolate peanut butter. Good luck Zach!

    Big life news: This week is my last with the Sarasota . Next month I'll start a new gig as a reporter for the in Danbury, Connecticut. It's been a wild ride through this diverging-diamond that we call life, so follow me north for more strange stories.

    We had a lot of big openings (the eight new tenants at Westfield Siesta Key) and big closings (Macy's, Sears and Kmart) this year.

    (Does anyone ever have time to count bylines in the week that's not between Christmas and New Years?)
