Hey, enough with the rain, already.

Goodbye, you old week, it’s been fun. But here comes the big Memorial Day weekend, and that’s going to be so much more fun…

But before we head out for our big fun weekend all around Nippertown, we’d like to send a great big thank-you to everyone who dropped by this week to add encouragement, support, proof-reading and, yes, criticism, too. And thanks for helping to spread the word about Nippertown.com.

And a great big thank-you to everyone who showered us with birthday wishes, as Nippertown.com celebrated our fourth anniversary this week.

Of course, we couldn’t possibly cover the wide, wonderful scope of offerings around town without a dedicated and devoted bunch of wonderful writers, photographers, artists, tipsters and other assorted enablers who continually enrich us all with their contributions. So a big salute goes out to this week’s community contributors:

Gail Burns
Erin Harkes
Wanda Callagy
J Hunter
Rudy Lu
Charlie Braverman
