I haven't really stepped outside my house much since I have been home, but there is a lot to be updated on about C'ville.
-People are suffering from salmonella reportedly from Taco Bell, but the newspaper won't disclose the restaurant. Shady.
-Wal-Mart is deserting its old building--only to build a Super Wal-Mart right next door.
-Target is still not coming back :( and JCPenney remains to be the 3rd huge vacant building in town.
-South Mont is trying to play catch up with the other high schools and build an addition that still encapsulates the old buildings 70's flair.
-Crawmethsville remains to have the largest meth bust in the state.
-The city is trying to educate people who are at risk to use meth by putting up a billboard by Uncle Smiley's restaurant. It shows before & after pictures of meth users. Hey, it's a start.
-The new library has its grand opening on the 9th. All of you are cordially invited.
-Arni's Pizza has renovated their building & now they actually have a parking lot.
-Everyone better push their inoperable cars into hiding because a new ordinance allows the city to tow 'em away. They define an inoperable car as "an abandoned vehicle on private property as one that's at least three model years old, is mechanically inoperable and left in a location visible to public property for more than 20 days." Good thing my Dad got the Tempo off our hands.
-A new Chinese "all you can eat" restaurant has been open for a little bit. It's right next to Wal-mart...but in a few months it will be next to the abandoned WallyWorld, but behind the new Super Wal-Mart. I find the place pretty tasty. Very affordable & it adds some culture with it's huge pagoda that canopies over all the tables.
-Keep your kitties indoors. Supposedly a coyote is on the prowl! EEK!
-There are no gambling quarter machines :(
-I have no digital service on my cell phone. I have to drive to Indianapolis to find out how many minutes I have used.
-The "south" Shell station has officially closed. Another abandoned building. They moved closer to downtown...I checked it out, it's enjoyable.
-Billy & Diego (our kitties) now know how to open their food drawer in the kitchen. I have found them both sitting inside the drawer chompin' on some kitty chow.
-My mom & I are all ready for Halloween. We bought a huge glowing pumpkin from Big Lots and it looks wonderful on the front porch.
-A huge furry spider jumped from my mailbox into my car today when I was getting the mail. I am sure he is procreating and I fear that he will pounce on my lap next time I'm in the car. I know this isn't C'ville news, but it's been on my mind.
Well, that's the news around here. Hope all is well in your neighborhood.

i miss cville whit, err no i don't. but i'm really glad i have you to catch me up on it regardless :) i personally cannot wait to experience arni's parking lot- maybe now betsy won't have to interact with the fire hydrant. i also am stoked to see this huge pumpkin on your porch...i can only hope i arrive at night so it is lighting up the front of your entire house. lol thinking about it :o) good luck finding that spider, and pleeease take pics of the kitties in the drawer!! love it. awww i miss my booters, kisses to him!!
Craw-meths-ville sounds just too much like Richmond...complete with the rebuilding of the wal-mart, meth-heads, closing Target, vacant buildings all over. Our beautiful Arboretum is slowly coming down to make way for another strip mall that will be vacant within 5 years...aahhh, Progress...
Gosh, do I miss Crawfordsville ;) It is such a thriving town with so many positive opportunities....
you just informed me more of Crawfordsville here in the last 30 seconds that it took me to read that than I have known in the last 3 months. lol, and I am the one that is still close. I do to like the name "craw-meth-sville" sonds, so discusting...
I am so impressed with your blog. So techno with all the pictures and such. I swear you have described the little town of Jasper,so I feel right at home. So glad I have found your postings so I can keep up with you and Johnny-B's antics.
Okay I'll leave my first comment on your page. Fortunately, I caught myself up a bit on the old c-tucky when I lived at home for two weeks. Thank god those days are gone......Welll..........Love you!!
