The Changing of our neighborhood

Litehouse adding another building...



Yellow building closed shop
equipment on the other side..is enlargement of the nursery




sawing the last part.... and ready...
down she goes...


Around here we have some changes.
We have one business closing and
others spreading their wings. And
growth.

One of our old business, closed the
doors 2 weeks ago. It was a machinist
shop. Now the work is being done in
China. (it is the yellow building in the

pictures)

It wasn't this small town business
who decided the parts should come from
China, but it was their buyers. Told them,
that the product they were after could be
made cheaper in China, and if they wanted
to continue being the supplier, then they
should go to China and settle up their business.

So after several years of doing that and
supplementing it here, the local one closed.
Maybe one of the owners who is in his 80's
has decided it was time. But sad for our
community. The building is for sale, so we will see
what else comes to our neighborhood.

In the meantime, the business back to back and
near the side, has spread its wings. Down came
some trees (some should have come down sooner,
due to rot) and a couple of weeks of dirt moving.
But so far it is hard to see what is going to be
come of a lot that was full of brush and weeds.
The business is a nursery, and that business is
booming. So we don't know if this is an extra
parking lot? Or is it going to be a plant and
bushes display? So we will wait and see.
Then Litehouse is adding a building to the 3
they already have.

Then at the other end of our direct neighborhood,
we are promised an opening of our dead end street,
and 35 new homes. That is one we aren't looking
forward to seeing.
