The rebirth of the Canyon State RR

[ezdays]

Well, sometimes a step back is progress. The story goes like this. Next to the schoolyard is a old abandon general store (first photo). The Society for the Preservation of Old Things. (S.P.O.T.), wanted to put a newly restored general store on the site, and possibly reopen the old store, but there wasn't enough room. But wait...., the property was surveyed and they found that the school had encroached by about eight feet, (second photo), giving them enough room for both buildings. So far, they've cleared the lot of gravel, reclaimed the encroachment   and placed the buildings on a nearby staging lot (third photo), waiting for grading and pouring the concrete required by the town's historical commission.  The white and purple stuff, well, the soil is kind of sandy in that area of town which is why they insisted on concrete for the parking lot.

Hey, it's important that everyone know that these things are not done on a whim, there's always a good reason.
