But their party ended when th1! cottages and CO'Z'f, secluded cove were bn.ally opened to th public to enJoy more than 20 years after It had become a pub- licly owned treasure. With that Herculean labor completed. the state began efforts to restore cottages deten· orating from the seaside weather and some clear neglect. State planners held several public workshops at a Corona del Mar elementary school to gauge pub- lic opiruon about bow the cot- tages shouJd uJtimately be used -overnight rentals. park opera- tions, scientific research and cuJ. tural interpretation are among the ideas. In the early spnng. the state bought out San Franosco devel· oper Michael Freed, whose idea for a lu.xwy resort at the cove was met with Wldespread oppo- sttion.

The Swedes were among the earl.I t to throw a non- stop bash between Christmas and New Year's, with masked revelers and a gyand parade. There ore also some great exampl of how, sooner or later, everything old is new agaln. . ln March 1773, the New York State legislature passed a law banning lhe firing of guns or cannon to celebrate the new year. How about lhe idea of a New Year's Day open house for all tbe neigh· bors? Good idea, but it's been around for about.800 years. European villagers would lay out some food and drink, then open their doors for anyone who happened by. What about New Year's resolubons? Funny you • • lbould ...
