Here is the front of Walgreens Drug Store. The green sign says that the store has a walk-in clinic. The other signs say you can get your Hallmark Cards here. The open sign is on so walk on in and apply for a job. The last sign says that help is wanted.

This photo shows the Walgreens location compared to the other buildings in Galville.

The drug store was a Christmas present from Andrew and Kim. Thanks!!!!

New RR Cars Bring Building Supplies to Galville

Thanks to additional railroad cars from my brother-in-law and sister, additional building supplies have been brought to Galville.
The bikers sit on their cycles and watch the supply train go by the Two Wheel Saloon. One looks a little like mark. I wonder if Kristin is inside buying beer.

The train rounds the bend near the saloon.

Over on Sumner Mountain, the Galville Utility District has constructed a water tower. Completion is expected shortly.

The Spaghetti Palace is nearing completion.

Andrew and Kim's New House

Andrew and Kim moved into a new house in Apex, NC, a bedroom community of Raleigh. The house has kitchen, living room/dining area, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 2 large rooms (one for her pottery making and one for his "man cave"). This is the front of the house,

Lots and lots of boxes. They had many friends and family members helping them move all their stuff.

Kim cleaning the kitchen cupboards. The house was a foreclosure and had been empty since July. Thus it needed a lot of deep cleaning in the kitchens and baths. They replaced the carpet in all the bedrooms and painted them also. It took 2 coats of paint in each room, making for a long week-end of painting.

The large shed in the back yard. It came with a new bicycle.

Thew swimming pool. I can't wait for summer time.

Two Wheel Saloon is OPEN!!!

The Two Wheel Saloon recently opened in Galville. Now there is a place to eat, drink, and make merry. The mayor and some of his friends stopped by the other night a cool one after the city council meeting.
The left side of the saloon is decorated with an American eagle poster as well as a harley Davidson poster.

The right side has a Harley poster as well as one for Koehler's Beer. That must be an old poster since Koehler's Beer went out of business about 20 years ago. The brewery in Erie, PA was recently torn down.
