Patch wants to know: what was the most important or favorite moment of 2011?
With 2012 just days away, Reading Patch wants to know what our readers thought were the most pivotal, or simply, the most favorable, moments of last year. 2011 certainly had some big international and domestic stories. There was a massive earthquake in Chile. The ousting of Italian PM, Silvio Berlusconi. We saw terrorist leader, Osama-Bin-Laden finally uncovered and killed, along with the demise of corrupt Libyan Dictator, Muammar Gaddafi. There were, and continue to be, politically-fueled protests around the world due to continuing financial meltdowns.

Do you think restaurant hours should be extended on New Year's Eve?
The Board of Selectmen recently rejected a request for restaurant hours to be extended on New Year's Eve. Great American Tavern wanted to stay open until 2 a.m. instead of 1 a.m. According to the Police Department, extending the hours of alcohol sales could lead to additional alcohol-related incidents. Great American Tavern will have their last call at 12:40 p.m., but wanted to offer customers an extra hour to order drinks. What do you think? Take our poll and let us know. Should restaurants be allowed to extend their hours on New Year's Eve?
