Community Meeting

Wow. There were something like 200 people at the Church last night. What a great turn out! The local news was there and everything! Even my folks knew about it and they live on the West side. Maybe I should pay attention more, eh?

Well, here's the skinny. The ice cream shop is closed for the season. However, the coffee shop is going to open maybe near the end of September or something. So that's a good thing!

The families who own the hardware store are sort of waiting around to hear from the fire marshall and the insurance company to decide what they are going to do. They have taken a note from Yours Truley and started their own website at www.alger-hardware.blogspot.com and you can leave them comments there on what you think. Apparently,they can't do that repair shop anymore. I guess that's trashed! In general, the Alger Hardware folks are discussing things with one another, what are they going to do, are they going to do it together, stuff like that.

I guess there was a sign up sheet and so forth at the Church last night, so I'm sure the board will follow up on what's needed by whom and when. At the end of the day, it was great that everyone pulled together like that.

That's about it. Any questions, as usual, you know where to reach me. I put a new link to the hardware store's website on the right hand side there.

Ciao!
