Loved that show---still watch the reruns, still laugh over the same jokes.

We have them but only once a year just before Old Campbell County Days. I think I have seen them maybe once during other times of the year. LOL Gotta look pretty for people coming around for that.

Very handsome, very patriotic young men. I, too, think it's a riot. They're adorable. Probably not something I would have done to my son or grandsons but it is cute.

Yes in town but never in our subdivision

we have them in Anchorage and it's a mark that spring/summer is truly here when we see the street sweepers out cleaning up all the left-over crumbs from the winter. I've often thought of painting them cheery spring colors rather than the dreary, dirty yellow they are now.

Yes, my little burg of 5000 does have a street sweeper. Seems to me in these economic times that would be a service to consider dropping...at least until the recession lifts...yeah, right.

On the lighter side...as a child I lived in Batavia, NY. If my geography recall is correct, that's in your neck of the woods. Yes? No?

we have the sweepers, but due to budget cuts, they don't sweep as often as they used to. In Spring they sweep all the gravel and sand that was used on the ice during the winter and recycle it.

We, too, have street sweepers. They do the village every week. This is a very nice place to live, snow and all.

Is funny, because in NYC they clean the street every other day, but in Plattsburgh is once a year. I am not sure why bother.
