New construction on the east side of downtown

 Several new houses have been built on the north side of Hwy. 29 near the intersection with Scenic Drive. One of the lots had been vacant for a long time after the building on it burned down. I think the developers have done a nice job making these fit in with the neighborhood they are built in.

The old tractor farm

Some folks used to refer affectionately to the property at 805 E. 8th St. as the "Tractor Farm" because the lot was covered with old, rusting tractors. Last year the house on the lot was torn down and most of the tractors that were on the property were removed. We biked by the property yesterday and this beautiful new house was on the lot.
