Light Up the Holidays!
First, the five winners:
Victorian
Best business
Best overall/whimsical
Modern
Most Christmas Spirit
Other ones I took pix of that we were considering
I love this house and how it's decorated - very simple and elegant. I used to live across the street.
The Arctic Cat dealer almost won best business display with this awesome light tree.
I think these folks won two years ago - they have a full style but if they'd just trace that top roofline, I'd think it was excellent for "most Christmas spirit" or "whimsical".
I'm sooo proud that our historic theater is now open!!!! The owner is president of VIBE and thus not eligible to win. But isn't it gorgeous??
The antique popcorn machine is popping popcorn like it's new!
Inside. It seats around 200. Tom & Tonya have been having concerts and second run movies - right now it's Tangled, a new Disney movie based on the Rapunzel story. They're having a free Christmas Eve matinee showing. Movies are cheap, concessions are cheap... You gotta check it out!
The bathroom signs are just classics. I don't know if they're original (~1913?) or from the 1965 rehab.
One of the old time movie signs
Tom & Tonya in the ticketbooth/concession stand.
Last year's best business display winner the Window Box Flower Shop, wasn't eligible this year, but they have another beautiful display.
Jill & Kelly eating popcorn from the movie theater. The bag reads, "This bag is manufactured using environmentally friendly EcoSelect paper." We're just that green in Blossburg. :-)

Census data
The census tract that includes Blossburg, 9907, is really big and covers one of the more wealthy areas of the county - a little distorting. I can't get it to just show me by zip code - Census tracts are much bigger than zip codes in Tioga County, while they're only a couple blocks tall/wide in Buffalo.
Same-sex couple households
Census tract 68 (my apt): 2%
Census tract 6702 (including the 24) 5%
Blossburg's census tract: 0%
But the neighboring one where I know my old friends Vince & Jeff live - 1%! :-)
Median household income
Census tract 68: $34K
but the tract behind me, 7101: $16K, and the one next to that $11K.
Blossburg tract: $43.9K
Race & ethnicity
Census tract 68: 67% white, 16% black, 14% hispanic
Census tract 7101: 16% white, 36% black, 45% hispanic
Blossburg tract: 98% white
Education
Census tract 68: 93% high school diploma, 50% bachelors degrees
Census tract 687101: 49% high school diploma, 6% bachelors degrees
Blossburg: 88% HS 21% bachelors (distorted by including the Wellsboro area)
Morris Run: 89%, 13% (more typical of Tioga County)

Final tally
I couldn't find replacement nibs for it that (e:tinypliny) suggested are fun to trade. I'd love a fine point. The medium point is quite broad and doesn't give the nice thick-thin strokes that I like. I might not have been as picky about fine point pens when I bought it about 12 years ago. I still like the purple ink :-)
