If you haven’t driven down Main Street to the east end, you need to make the drive. The east entrance into our community looks great. The northwest corner has been cleaned up and the three buildings to the west of the corner have been given facelifts, also. It’s worth the trip to see how things are changing on the north side of the street, which was an area that needed some attention. While you’re on that end of Main Street be sure and check out the Key Doctor’s new neon sign.
The Main Street Pavilion is missing one of its Route 66 chair. The missing chair is red and has a quilt like pattern on the seat back and says, “Welcome to Stroud.” If anyone has seen the chair, please contact a Town Talk member.
