It's 47.3 degrees and cloudy. It's just not going to be as grand a day for outdoor work as yesterday was, I'm afraid.
North Country Landscapers dropped off another batch of trees along Sanger Avenue, yesterday - a variety of maple - and the landscapers at the Library were putting sod in place out near the White Street entrance.
It's GREEN WASTE DAY!
....and if you speak with the fellows from the Department of Public Works, today, give them a bit of extra applause: the reason that Main Street - by 6:00 on Saturday afternoon - looked as if absolutely NOTHING had taken place there during the day and was as neat as a pin, was because they and Mayor Younes were there at four o'clock on the dot, picking up trash containers and making sure that not a bit of litter remained!
Yesterday, when I was asking merchants what their reactions were to the Event, RoseMary Broedel's was a bit different: she was most impressed with the shoppers' own impressions - loudly voiced! - of her SIDEWALK! "What are they going to do?" they'd ask her. And her reply: "Apparently, NOTHING!"
Just had a phone call:
STREET SIGNS are going in!
But, in the process. the "STOP" sign at the corner of Park Place and Sanger as been removed. Temporarily, I presume!
