By last Thursday, the bridge on Angola Rd. was fixed. Now Washington St. (the entire length) is torn up for a scheduled CBPU water main upgrade project. This is going to take a while due to the scale of the project, but hopefully not too long. If you need to use Washington as a through street try Pearl instead.

More than 50 Coldwater children will be featured on radio station WBCL (94.7FM) on Friday (6/25/09) at 7:15am, 1:15pm, 4:15pm, and 7:15pm. Their song was recorded by the radio station during Lockwood Community Church's Vacation Bible School on Wednesday evening. WBCL broadcasts to tens of thousands of people in Fort Wayne and the surrounding areas. Additionally, a short video of the kids is also featured on WBCL's Facebook page.

For the curious... this photo shows what is beyond the "road closed" barricade just south of Angola Road and Lockwood Road. This appears to be a scheduled road project that started Monday (6/22/09). Detours are posted.

Huge crowds turned out today for the annual Strawberryfest... another great success! This year I'm actually getting the photos up on the same day as the event... Click here to see them!

Roughly a month ago the new Coldwater water tower was finished (at least the tower itself, not necessarily the full hook-up to the water system). This picture was taken May 29. Simple, attractive... looks like the Coldwater Board of Public Utilities has chosen to keep it plain and not put "Coldwater" or any logo on it. The more controversial issue, though, is the City of Coldwater's decision to speculatively purchase 65 acres of land north of the new water tower for $525,000. The city hopes to use the land to promote a research and development business park. The CBPU is loaning the city the money. Let's hope the plan works!
