Happy New Year!

Nippertown.com has been up and running for about seven months now, so we haven’t even celebrated our first anniversary yet. But as 2009 comes to a close, we’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who has come to visit and helped spread the word about what we’re doing here.

Remember, Nippertown is your hometown. Please help make it grow and thrive in 2010.

OK, then, let’s roll the credits…

Very special thanks to Andrzej Pilarczyk, without whom Nippertown would be a much poorer place to live

And an extra tip of the hat and our undying gratitude to such fine folks as Charles H. Haymes, Jill Hughes, the Arts Center of the Capital Region, John Caldwell, Jim Gaudet & the Railroad Boys and all of those who have put their money where their art is by advertising with Nippertown.com during our first months.
