A Gary Post-Tribune columnist is suggesting 10 places in that city at which to have a good time on Sunday, New Year's Eve. There will undoubedtly be similar suggestions made in other cities, and you can get lots of tips on where to go in Fort Wayne. Here's my advice: 1. Get food, beverages and whatever other supplies you might need early, say on Thursday. 2) Go home on Friday after work, and get a good night's sleep. 3.) Go out on Saturday and get whatever you forgot on Thursday. Catch lunch while you're out, maybe even take in a movie. 4). On Sunday, open the door to get the newspaper, then go back in the house and STAY THERE UNTIL MONDAY. It will be crazy and dangerous on the way to and from wherever you might go. What, are you nuts, thinking about getting out there with all the drunks?

Just be thankful YOU don't have to shop for "after-Christmas" sales on level 3 body armor to wear JUST for New Years' Eve on the SOUTH SIDE of Fort Wayne!
We've got WAY too many "revelers" who feel the need to fire LIVE rounds into the air (hopefully), and the way this "physics" thing works...anything that goes UP...MUST come DOWN.
And I won't even mention the fireworks we'll probably hear as well.
It's no longer about any sort of "celebratory" nuance. It's about instilling a perverse sort of urban terror into other people to let them know who's running the neighborhood NEXT year.
Don't be at all surprised to read about houses and cars shot at (and maybe even people), as my part of town rings in 2007!
I only hope they place AS MANY police on OUR streets as they do on the highways.
