North edge of town now a little more empty

Tags: , , , , ,


Nearly a year ago we reported on the highway project north of town that was going to take the home of Peggy Tomlinson. Today the home was demolished and about the only thing that marks where the house once stood is the foundation and driveway.

I actually stood with Peggy as some of the debris was hauled off in semi trucks. It was an emotional time for her and as I watched I couldn’t help being reminded of how disheartening and frustrating the whole process was up to the very end.

What you may have heard about it and what you may know are two different things, but we sure would like to hear your thoughts on how this all panned out.
