RETURN ENGAGEMENT: County Highway PD west to Northern Lights Road


Was surprised to discover that, five years later, there's still some road work taking place on the approach to Northern Lights Road.

A year later, the project is underway.  Montpas and city administrator Bill Burns told the Press this week the city is exploring the use of condemnation – better known as eminent domain – to ensure the $12 million project to improve the Epic-afflicted traffic goes through. But that process can often takes six months, they said in a series of emails to the Press. And Montpas said the PD project can’t begin until every piece of right-of-way is purchased.

    The popularity of Sarah as a baby name is graphed here.  Let's take a look at classmate Rosalie.

    Rosalie enjoyed a respectable run during the first half of the 20th centurym remaining in the top 300 the entire time and peaking at #66 in 1938, her only year in the top 100.  Her decline accelerated during the 1960s, and she dropped off the chart for two decades after 1988, only to return with some firepower behind her.  She's now back in the top 200.

    Did you know that Ron DeSantis was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus Crazies?  

    Yup, he's always been a wacko.
