This is usually the day that I open a new business, when Im opening one.
Both of Boomtown's official openings, Springfield and Downtown were officially opened on September 28, and last year we opened up Vigilant Legal Services in Lauderdale on the 28th, officially.
This year, Im just celebrating. Its a little weird, not having a crushing agenda to get done today, (although I actually have a lot of stuff to do for MetroJacksonville.) And Im being dragooned to a few get togethers tonight to mark the occasion, but no huge catering to get done, or menus to print or hostesses to train or paralegals to drill into shape.
I got a birthday greeting from Susan Eastman on facebook:

Happy Birthday, Stephen. You're an original. You make Jacksonville a more interesting place. And thanks for sharing your stories about Jacksonville, and about your attempts to use mass transit with the rest of us. I wish you would do another in that series, maybe Jacksonville's walkability?
Anyways, I plan on enjoying my city today.
Happy Birthday buddy! Enjoy yourself and have a great day! 8) :)
Have a happy hippie birthday brother Stephen... Damn, it's almost 4:20!

Happy Birthday Stephen. Alice Cooper wrote a song back in the day called "Steven," not the same spelling, but take a listen. Hope you had a real head wagging, snot slinging, a** leaking birthday!

Happy birthday, Stephen. Sorry I missed this news yesterday.
This site has made me appreciate Jacksonville more than ever, which is really saying something coming from me, and your diligent work, entertaining writing, and history lessons are a big part of that.
Happy Birthday
