Jim Krumel: Lima may have a DAD-WOC-GOW-ABA-BAV-WOF in its future
Jim Krumel
Let’s see.
What is this new thing Lima City Council is being asked to approve? A “downtown outdoor refreshment area.” Or, DORA, for short.
It does sound better than calling it a “designated area downtown where one can go outside with a burger and brew and visit with old friends.” Or, DAD-WOC-GOW-ABA-BAV-WOF, for long.
Anyway, Lima’s thinking about getting one of those things.
So, what do you think?
Downtown Lima Inc. believes this could be the long-awaited magnet to lure people back to the heart of the city. It does sound like fun. And it sure beats the idea pitched way-back-when of building an indoor ice rink to attract the multitudes. Remember that one? If not, don’t worry. It’s best forgotten.

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) For almost two years, Randy Lawrence of Boca Raton suspected who had his stolen collection of about 1,300 comic books worth $2 million, a treasure he had been building for 54 years as a retirement nest egg.
But back then, no one not he, nor the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office, the FBI, the State Attorney or even a private investigator could do anything about the nabbed graphic novels or prove who was the nabber.

But some say the struggle to stay afloat even after Governor Wolf lifts the indoor dining ban. Author: Chelsea Strub Updated: 5:52 PM EST December 30, 2020
LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. Restaurant managers say today s announcement from the governor s office caught them by surprise. Limited mitigation orders that went into effect on December 12 will expire as planned. On January 4 at 8 a.m., Governor Tom Wolf announced in a virtual news conference.
Wayne Schwartz, the manager of Uncle Buck s BBQ in Plymouth, was not expecting the Governor to stick to his plan.
Rather he thought he would be extending his restrictions. We absolutely expected that that would be the case, said Schwartz. That the numbers are still up after everybody celebrating and getting together, so it s a relief that he s lifting them.
