Have mercy on my Mustang: Fill potholes
Lebanon is a great place to live. I was born here 83 years ago on Mascoma Street (well, not exactly on the street). We have very nice walking and biking trails, a very nice skateboarding and picnic park along the river, good playing fields, a very good school system with excellent teachers and administrators, Colburn Park is getting a nice improvement and the city administrators are doing a good job in their various occupations.

Jan. 1 parade to celebrate ‘welcoming’ ordinances
On New Year’s Day, Lebanon’s “welcoming ordinance” goes into effect, joining similar policies in Hanover, Norwich and Hartford. All four municipalities will then have a policy that instructs local police not to collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, in addition to prohibiting them from racial profiling.
The organizers and activists who worked to pass these policies are planning a celebration in the form of a vehicle parade to connect our municipalities in this time of physical distancing and to recognize that we are all one community.
