I asked in that post if Stewart's owned the intersection at Green Street and Fairview Avenue, but apparently I didn't push the right button, because the comment never appeared. Maybe I asked the wrong question. <br /><br />Linguistics gymnastics, it seems.<br /><br />SusanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904744235071178921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-57253608085844539072021-04-25T09:47:56.048-04:002021-04-25T09:47:56.048-04:00Agreed.

I believe there was also a grant for Upper Union Street of $250K or thereabouts, to fix the storm water and sewer problems. That was several years ago more than two I would say. I wonder what has happened to that grant?
