The SHADOW is Back! Watch Out Glendo!
The Shadow IS your news source for Glendo
I know!! You thought Woody with his Che tee shirt and black beret scared me off. Well I’m back much to your dismay. I have been keeping up with the news here on the page and I think the best of the year so far was the “farting dog” post.
I’m also glad to see you folks gang up on the powers to be and keep poor old Hubert out of jail. The guy that said you can’t have it both ways is right but unfortunately around here you can’t seem to have it either way!!
Well now that I have declared spring officially here it’s time once again to pull back the “blackout curtains” in Glendo and let the outside world know what’s going on!!
The sewer project is in full swing to the delight of many people in town. Had a small set back as the project superintendent dropped dead and fell into the hole. A lot of rumors flying around town that day. Some of the kids came home from school thinking he died because he got his head caught in the new sewer line.
It appears they are making progress on the new building for the fire trucks and such. A company came in the other day and had the building that’s sucking the fumes out of the ground moved almost in the blink of an eye. The city needs to keep their card in their file. I assume there will soon be demo going on with the old building but I have not seen a time line. I did see a rendering of it and it will spruce up the main dray a lot.
I heard rumors that Susan got sort of surly at the last city counsel meeting about the new welcome sign but “heard no evil- see no evil & speak no evil” went along with her and we are about to get a $4500 welcome sign sitting down below the road across the street from Howard’s. It will be large and I can’t wait for the comments. The competition for the job seemed to be on the up and up so no complaints there!!
Glendo days is cranking up again and once again the city council seems to be doing everything they can to make it fail. They threw $2000 dollars at the Mud Bog project with only a mild request but refuse to land any sort of helping hand to Glendo days. I know the Mud Bog people give most everything they make to town projects but so does Glendo Days. Why do you suppose they treat them so differently???
It appears the push to move “Cottonwood Hall” to town is off the books for now and they are going to rent it out for special occasions like weddings and such. You might want to keep that in mind if you are in the market for something like that it’s in a very nice setting for a large family get together.
I see the state is trying to stick it to those hated “greenies” again but not allowing them to buy a season camping pass. That should slow things down for the businesses’ here in Glendo. They say they are just trying to generate more revenue. They must have studied economics under Barry and his crew!! Why not just raise the season pass $100. The people wouldn’t be as upset over that.
Oh and by the way. Wouldn’t the correct term be “homosexual marriage???”
What say you?
