| Stars Line the Streets of Mercer |
Well, it may not be Times Square, or even Lake Drive in Milwaukee, but the merchants of Mercer have decorated their businesses and it makes me happy to drive through the downtown at night.

| The Associated Bank |
 |
| The Pocket Park |
 |
| Dr. Nehring's (the dentist) Office |
 |
| Baby Jesus at the Dentist's Office |
 |
| Aunt Esther's Attic |
 |
| Turtle River Trading Company |
 |
| Tom's Cafe |
Some people say that downtown Mercer is not the most attractive small town they have ever seen, but I agree with Aaron Rose, one of the drivers of the Beautiful Losers art movement. He wrote:
"In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary."
Here are some more pictures of the town.

| The Anchor Bar |
 |
| The Wampum Shop |
 |
| The Heart of the North Bar |

| The Chamber of Commerce |
I think it might be nice to drive down the streets of Mercer while listening to Christmas Lights by Coldplay. You can hear it and see the video on their website http://www.coldplay.com/ or on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1rYmzQ8C9Q . I especially like the last verse:
Oh Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights keep shining on
Here is our house at night
Beth, this is a neat little website you've put together! Your little town looks peaceful and charming, and it sounds like you're loving living there! I hope you and Pete have a wonderful first Christmas there! And the dogs look terrific!
