A place for noting the little things you see around town, such as:
- New charging stations in the Co-op parking lot, and a bit of a new layout to the store inside (some minor adjustments of some aisles and cases)
- A new ADA Amtrak Train Station
- work of the outdoor library landscaping and structures continues
Add anything you’ve noticed…
Full serve
Downtown gas & service station re-opens with new owners .
Demo started
Demolition started today at the closed car wash on Canal Street.
Flowery town
It’s a great year for flowers, everywhere around town.
skunks
not long after dawn a white’n’brown skunk might be ambling along Elliot Street, see one a few times over the past week
but the white’n’black one with real shiny fur, looking very healthy, crossing Green Street towards the Heart Rose Club.
Dollar Tree "Closed Until Further Notice"
The sign went up yesterday.
Family Dollar doesn’t seem to be in a rush to re-open.
So we’re now down to one dollar store inconveniently in West Bratt and it has the worst selection of the three.
they opened back up a few days later
.
Blue
Ye olde Pepsi(?) building across from the gym on Putney Rd is getting some attention – new coats of blue paint.
And gee, it is nice to have smoother roads again. : )
Also
The building had lots of barrels around it… a distillery?
Green Street and Western Ave
The re-shaping of the curve at the top of Green St where it intersects with Western Ave should make things a bit safer. The days of racing forward down the hill are over with a new bump out that makes the whole thing more like a real intersection and not a Y shape.
For those who want space...
A storage place is opening across from the Hannaford plaza.
Blue
The old Pepsi Bld was last owned by Hermit Thrush Brewery as their aging area and possibly canning. I think the barrels you saw were being removed. Don’t know what is going in this building.
Hidden diner
The diner that emerged on Canal Street as they took down the car wash, etc. is pretty cool.
