Wow, I didn't even notice!! I for one am happy that something is being done with the property. It was so rundown and unsitely!! Maybe other area owners will begin clean up of their properties as well! We live in a nice town, lets keep it nice!!!

That place was an eyesore before it closed. I'm glad it's coming down.
At least Randy's and Cumbis are well kept but never that Mobil station.

I can still remember the "Flying A" horse way back when I was a kid. I shouldn't
be too thrilled about a Starbucks, though. On my next visit to my hometown I
was hoping to see the quaintness of old downtown. And now Lord's is gone.
Even Baker's Pond isn't called that anymore, is it? Alas. So much for our
history.
