Working from the Masonic Temple Southward, nice-looking topsoil is being spread in the tree belt and in narrow strips next to the inside edge of the sidewalks on owners' lawns. I asked the crew whether this was in preparation for "sod" or for "Hydroseed" - one said "Sod!" and other said, "Or Hydroseed!" Let's just hope that the first answer was the correct one!
Nor does there seem to be an answer to the persistent question," How are they going to make THIS work?"
Sidewalk Superintendents wonder - with apparent good reason - just how the D.O.T. engineers plan to have the (as yet unpoured) sidewalk on Sanger Avenue meet the (as yet unpoured) sidewalk on Park Place meet in such a manner that will allow for Handicap - or snowplow - Accessibility.
While nothing has happened here, in front of the Woodman-Getman Law Offices on Main Street, there have been many additions to the gardens at the Library.
Along with bright green sod, more trees, shrubs and perennials have been added: hemorocallis, echinacea, sedums, ornamental grasses, rose bushes and, best of all, three or four graceful new Park Benches made of cast iron and painted to match the pergola.If you havn't already, do take a walk and see for yourselves!
Perhaps someone could - any day now - remove or change their outdated announcements on the bulletin board in the Park. It almost seems that as soon as curbing was installed all around the Park and there was no longer any way to drive close to the bulletin board instead of carrying the "letter box" - which really IS heavy! - frequent changing of announcements ceased. Perhaps the bulletin Board has become more of a nuisance than the nicety that it has been.
