The Front Porch of the Market
I love front porches. These are outdoor spaces, open to the world, inviting, the place where neighbors meet to chat.
The Markets' front porch is about 95 feet long! Lots of space for lots of friends and even more great conversations. We may loose a few to the new ADA ramp, but will still have room for plenty of rocking chairs.
Hard to believe that it has been a week already since signing the purchase agreement, starting the website, the blog, the dialogs, etc. We've met with contractors everyday this week, gathering pricing for this that and the other thing. We have tried to pace ourselves, but a project like this is truly a marathon versus a sprint.
Our newest news is that we heard back from the Town within 24 hours after submitting our application! This is a wonderful encouragement and means that they are as excited about, or at least interested in, this project as much as we are. We were requested, understandably, to provide a bit of additional information for the Town to be able to properly review the application. This is not abnormal in the least bit, and we are happy to do so of course. As we have said elsewhere, this is a community effort, about community, and for the community. The next scheduled Town Council Meeting is June 14th, at 7:30 PM, at the Town Hall on Main Street, so put it on your calendars now, and please show up to express your support.
Back to conversations... We wish you the best of them this weekend!
