The sign in the parking lot of Roman Bistro on Ardmore Boulevard actually is looking to days beyond Dec. 21.
Some motorists along Ardmore Boulevard on Thursday were probably scratching their heads as they saw the numbers flying by on the new digital sign in the parking lot of Roman Bistro. Was it counting down to the predicted end of the world tomorrow (Friday)? The hours 'til Christmas? The time the ball drops on New Year's Eve? Not at all.

I am not talking about the election which will be held Tuesday, Nov. 6, but rather the demise of the Mayan Calendar which expires Friday, Dec. 21, 2012. There has been a lot of buzz over the past year about how when the Mayan Calendar hits 12/21/12 the entire world will come to a screeching halt!
