Summer is Here in a Few Days, But You Can Start Enjoying it Early

Time for those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer.....Among upcoming events is the July 2nd Concert in the Park and next weekend there is a big catered soire in the Park for Freeman Bus
75th Anniversary.
City Council meets Monday without the posturing and bloviating about the budget as that document is put to bed.
A new issue...well it's also an old one....has cropped up with debate anew over the Masonic Temple on Washington Street. For the moment its privately owned however and the current owners have to decide what to do.
We are keeping on eye on the Army Reserve Center for possible reuse....And there is a spate of development on the City's west side that is good news for us all.
The issue of new rules for city parks is done, with most of the old rules still in effect. The deck is still in lawyer limbo and all the barflies are awaiting the reopening of Coleman's Corner.
Preliminary reports on sales tax revenue has city finances back on track and recent rain has helped with production at the Marble St. Hydro Plant.
Some key public works projects are underway and our local unemployment continues to stay below the national average.
The last two summers have been riddled with uncertainty and doubt but this year looks a bit brighter although there's still no state budget and the federal debt is leading us to a Thelma and Louise moment...but you can't spend all your time worrying so enjoy the summer....
Start it out by visiting Fort Pearl later today for the Iron Block Harley 25th Anniversary Party !
