New owners for the old Beaver News buildings

Someone left a comment this morning on last night's post asking what was going on with the Beaver News building. I had not realized that anything was going on, but it has a "Sold" sign in its window.

I managed to talk to a man who was working inside, and he said that after they clean it out and remodel it, they want it to be an event hall.

It should be interesting to watch. The building has possibilities. It has an old cast-iron front buried under the plywood.

If you have more information about what has happened to Beaver News or what will happen to this building, your comments are welcome.

Anonymous said...: Janelle and Ryan Musch purchased the building, as you said, as an event hall. They would like its history told to them. Several folks remember it as Warner's Hardware, but not much knowledge as to what it was prior to that.; December 12, 2010 at 4:58 PM

Contacting Rensselaer Adventures

To contact Rensselaer Adventures, send e-mail to rensselaeradventures at yahoo.com. (I put the @ in there originally, and of the first eight messages I received, four were the Nigerian scam and three told me I won a lottery I never entered. Maybe this change is already too late.)

If you want to comment on any specific post, (adding information or correcting a mistake I made) please use the comment area that is available on each post. That way everyone will get to see what you think, not just me.

I would love to hear from you if you have ideas of things I can write about. Even better, if you want to contribute something, I will consider it.

I will not check this address every day, so be patient. (And I almost never check my messages on Facebook, so it you send something there, the odds are that I will not see it for weeks or months.)

Also, I encourage and appreciate comments that are informative or entertaining. However, I delete comments that I think are offensive or inappropriate (which includes spam--I delete a lot of spam).
