SURPRISING STUFF
Linn Presbyterian Church Spring Rummage Sale.
The rummage sale is being conducted in order to help fight homelessness. The event will be held at the church, located at W335 Willow Road in Town of Linn on Friday May 5th, from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m., and from 4 p.m. through 7 p.m. Saturday, May 6th, the sale will be open from 8 a.m. through 1 p.m. Ten percent of all proceeds raised will go to the Twin Oaks Shelter in Darien. This is a great sale, with so much to browse through and anything and everything you might be looking for is probably there. The rummage sale is so big it takes several different buildings to house it all and the wonderfully priced goods are displayed very well, making finding that perfect treasure interesting and easy.
Make sure to add this terrific event to your calendar and come check it out. The church is located right near the intersection of Willow Road and South Lake Shore Drive in the Town of Linn.
The rebuilding goes on along the short stretch of Wrigley Drive.
The reconstruction is only of the street since, apparently, the curbing, gutters and sidewalk reworking, and redevelopment got dropped for budgetary reasons. However, this work is supposed to be accelerated in order to have everything done by Memorial Day, so why are the workers not there on weekends, and there sure as heck is no work being done at night. Accelerated attention is certainly being dispensed, but what about the work? The best part of the new project is that the entire old road structure, down to about four feet in depth, has been removed.
There will be none of the newly typical Wisconsin ‘highway robbery’ of pouring new asphalt over cracked and broken roadway concrete laid long ago and down deep, as was just done to Highway 50 from Lake Geneva to Highway 67 and from Lake Geneva back and forth to Elkhorn. The curbing, gutter, drainage, and sidewalk work would have been a wonderful addition to the project but will have to wait until sometime in the future when the city leadership decides that infrastructure funding must take precedence over improving the city’s visual effects.
