Bowling
is Back!
According to
Walter Kilbourne, lease negotiations for the vacant bowling alley are
concluded, and guess who the new tenant is? A bowling alley! Seems
that for undetermined reasons the landlord was not interested in
renewing the prior bowling alley lease. Prospective tenants included,
among others, a health club. No details on an opening date yet, but
well keep you posted! |

GARDENING TIP OF THE
WEEK - FROM GARDENINGLAUNCHPAD.COM
Bulbs in the Lawn - There are a some bulbs that can be planted
right in the lawn for spectacular displays in late winter and early
spring. The bulbs will fade before the grass grows enough to require
mowing. It takes a lot bulbs to make a good show, but luckily, these
early spring bulbs are relatively inexpensive. Here are some bulbs
that work well with this technique:
* squill
* snowdrop
* snowflake
* chionodoxa
* spring crocus
Large quantities of bulbs look great planted in groups of like colors
(drifts) or a playful mix of colors and textures for a tapestry
effect. If you're looking for a more formal display, draw out your
design on the lawn with horticultural lime as a planting guide. It's
best to use a single species rather than a mix of bulb types for a
formal design.
