Better, Brighter Georgetown!
On September 25th, 2013 Georgetown was tested. The tests continue, but I am happy to report that, so far, we are passing with flying colors! As we all now know, we had a terrible fire that day destroyed eight historic buildings along Front Street. Since the day of the fire, I have watched this community come together to provide for the victims and to begin the healing and recovery process with a resilient determination. The spirit of cooperation and unity has never been so evident.

You may find this hard to believe, but I get that question a lot.

He didn't even hesitate. He quickly grumbled "my hammer, that's why I wear it right here on my belt. I always keep my hammer

Much like a play, people play various roles in a community. Every community, including Georgetown, has its characters. Some characters play the role of a hero and some enjoy playing the villain. There are those characters, whether they know it or not, that serve as comedic relief. Every community regardless of size or
