And congratulations on your tiny new 4 footed family member!<br /><br />home before dark ~ Small towns are like archeological digs for the newcomer...so many complex layers and I will never be able to tease out the threads of how everyone is related! I still had a city mentality when we first moved here and one of my neighbors told me I needed to learn how to be snoopy!smilla4blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516736514127098070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-27463272365536682332011-02-28T10:56:35.080-05:002011-02-28T10:56:35.080-05:00Love the bird's eye view of your charming vill...Love the bird's eye view of your charming village. Looks like a stage set for Murder She Wrote (the charming parts, not the dead or soon to be dead people). <br /><br />Small towns(came from one myself) remind me of what James Joyce said about Dublin—that he didn't have to mind his own business because everyone else did that for him!home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-75830116499498275192011-02-27T16:00:29.862-05:002011-02-27T16:00:29.862-05:00Gorgeous building :)Gorgeous building :)Rachel Cotterillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969719330048416996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-12670318310718908052011-02-26T21:30:44.510-05:002011-02-26T21:30:44.510-05:00Stefan ~ I know you would love our Town Hall!

All charming and old fashioned, but for those of use who embrace the debit cards introduced during the tenure of a certain banker, it is a nuisance to have to go home for the rarely used paper checkbook...<br /><br />Cheers, loved the post. I've been planning one about the same building for months, as soon as I stop seething about the replacement windows (and the destruction of the inner pilasters framing the center portion)enough to write rationally about it.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-16478337907159892212011-02-26T16:25:41.936-05:002011-02-26T16:25:41.936-05:00So much of my life has played out going in and out...So much of my life has played out going in and out of that building. And of course, a sign on the wall of the second floor auditorium of the Town Hall, carved by the Fire Chief, announces that the room is named for my father, a fact that gives me much pleasure.<br /><br />I see you have used a photo of the front BEFORE the three stooges currently in charge of the building replaced the handsome roman grid panes with plain vinyl framed panes.<br /><br />Sigh. getting old gives one so much to be grumpy about.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-75946331072794483122011-02-25T19:43:28.972-05:002011-02-25T19:43:28.972-05:00how quaint. our town office was for years a shack ...how quaint. our town office was for years a shack built on the side of the firehouse and town garage which flooded every two or three years as it sat right on the bank of the river. about three years ago, they boosted all our taxes and built themselves a fancy new place. where, you might ask and if you live in a small town, you already know the answer. yup same spot except they levelled it a bit so now it'll flood even more often only now it'll be more expensive to fix.<br /><br />and i don't have a tv either. with bigger monitors, who needs one. i think they'll soon join phones and watches on the trash pile of time.Turner Pack Ratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611044946684881118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-56610036458448628962011-02-25T16:53:30.779-05:002011-02-25T16:53:30.779-05:00Oh lovely building! i love these small town storie...Oh lovely building! i love these small town stories :-)ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.com
