Beside the mill project the much delayed Lowe's project is showing some activity.  A crew was working in the snow and mud at the site Monday.  Too bad the deck at Scoop City is closed for the season.  This project is set to relly rock and roll come spring.

Meanwhile work continues on the mill Project  you can get a good view from the lot of the Visitors Center on North Street.  Both the mill project and sawtooth construction can be viewed from this location.  Remember the Visitor Center is open 8:30 to 5:00 Monday thru Friday.  Just want the sawtooth check it out from the Stone Arch Bakery.

There maybe a dusting of snow on the ground and that ground maybe frozen but construction goes on in Claremont.

A thirty yard section of Main Street between the Stone Arch Bakery and Leo's Market will be closed for about six weeks while the prefab part to the Sawtooth garage are put into place.

You can sit in the bakery have a cup of coffee and a donut not imported from Massachusetts while you watch.  First things first they have to bring in a crane to put together the carne that will put the garage together.

Just around the corner on Water Street the Mill project is moving along a source tells me that about half a million dollars of windows will be going into the three mills.

You can walk down by the site of the Mill being turned into a Common Man Restaurant, walk over the bridge to the City Office Building on North Street (aka Visitor Center).  I could direct you to it but after six years we finally have singage approved and on the way.

What to do

When it came time to lead both major candidates chose to sit on their hands. The vast majority of American did not want the Billionaire Buddy Bailout. Where are the memorable quotes from the two at the time of crisis?

What to do?

Sit on my hands like those who are trying to tell us how they can lead or join the majority of Americans and watch Dancing with the Stars. Yes again this year 60% of Americans will not vote. Again this year the president will receive the nod from only about 30% of Americans of voting age.

Is this due to the perceived lack of choice?

Did you know there are six candidates running for president with their names on the ballots in enough states to win the election?

Why doesn’t the media let us know?

Looks like congress is going to help their buddies.  You Know the guys that think it is fair to charge 39.99 percent intrest if you are a day  late with a payment.  Will Jump your intrest rate if some one you have issue with someone else that gives you a bad report. 

Lets give them a trillion dollar loan.  They can pat themselves on the back and get a big bonus.  The small business owner goes out if he makes bad decisions.  The rich get richer.

Nice to live in the world of the powerful where you are not responsible for what you do.  You can hear it now.  they made me give them the sub prime loan.  Its not my fault because everybody was doning it.  I'm to big for you to let me fail.

 Will congress have the guts to stop the bleeding.  Make the Banker take it like a man.  How about taking the houses of the fat cats who's companies gave the loans to those that could not afford it and will lose all.
