Restoring Granny's Attic

After many years of being tower-less, a historic building in our town is finally being returned to its former glory. Restoring "Granny's Attic" had been a ballot item in the past, and thankfully the voters approved it.

Last week, after sitting in the parking lot for years, it was hoisted back on to the roof where it belongs. I was awed by the result, surprised just how excited and happy I was to see it in all its restored splendor. The tower makes our downtown strip look more like a real town center. A place where people come together to take pride in their community and make good things happen.
