One of the nice things about this little part of my website is that its all mine, as compared to the bulletin board where everyone can discuss, argue, inform, etc., etc. So the mayoral race . . . . . so far, there are two candidates. Randy Bolen is the local boy with City Council experience, good connections, and a knack for working with others and getting things done.
Not that I have great influence over much of anything, but this guy has my vote.
The school really is gone. It is just a pile of rubble. There’s a few beams from the gymnasium and a little bit of identifiable structure by the boiler room. The houses on the lower side of 4th Ave. are visible from up the State Road. I bet those folks are really happy with their new ability to see something besides a big brick building. What’s weird though – is how it feels driving up 4th St. from downtown.
My wife is sure I am sitting here writing her a poem. I am not much of a poet, but I do know a naughty limerick or two. Love ya honey. :-)
Wow – it really is almost gone. The people living on 4th Ave and below must be thrilled to have a new view of the world. All that was left of the old high school when I last checked was a little bit of the gym end, the boiler room, bandroom, and part of the backstage/theater area. I suppose that will vanish shortly also.
I’m experimenting with a new way to manage parts of my website. I’ve always had a hunch that a blog format could work for this. So far, its been interesting to see how many features there are and to begin exploring possibilities.
