44.4 degrees; not raining!
It's "Big D & the Pickle" at Michael's, tonight, from 7:00 - 10:00.
Tennis, anyone?
On "Monument Park" before there was a monument, probably around 1890.

Love that US OPEN Tennis?
The Yankees won one and lost one; the Redsox lost and are now 8 GB NY.

There was activity all up and down the construction stretch, yesterday: uptown, a great deal of green "carpeting" was laid at Monument Park and the tree belt along Madison Street across from the Park is plush.
Mrs. Lloyd was having lunch at Michael's with her daughter, Wendy DeWaine, and grandson, Robbie (a Ravioli treat for him, before going back to school!) and gleefully announced, "I have a lawn!"

Down across from the Allen Acres building, more earth is being carved away for retaining walls that will front two or three yards, and all along the route cleanup was in progress: bits of blacktop at the ends of driveways were removed and swept up in preparation for the Final Paving, which is due to take place next week.
Mrs. Gurdo and Mrs. Hart, also dining at Michael's, had questions: "Where are we supposed to cross the street?" and "Is there something wrong with the timer or sensor on the stoplight at the Firehouse?" (The same questions are asked over and over again by many Main Street pedestrians and Putnam Street motorists who are frustrated by an extremely long wait when no other cars are in sight. If there are answers, I don't know who has them!)
And there are always questions about Local History, the answers to which are most often found in the Area History Online Archives.
