It appears the circus is in town today. This morning workers started erecting a tent over Lakeland City Hall. Its not the circus though. City Hall has a bug problem, and nothing as exciting as listening devices. The bright yellow and white tent is to allow the city to fumigate the building to eradicate termites.
Lakeland Local photographer Tom Hagerty was on the scene to take a few photos of the process. Heres the full set of photos.
City Hall will reopen Monday, December 28th.

Needless to say, I wanted to write about anything but the obvious topic for this week. At first I thought it might be because I have been hearing Christmas carols this year since before Thanksgiving and seeing pictures of Santa Claus in stores and on commercials this year before people even put away their Halloween costumes....
