Rensselaer Adventures: New Foundations

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

New Foundations

There is a new house under construction at the entrance to the Countryside subdivision on the west side of Rensselaer. It joins two other recent housing starts, (on Vine and on Rachel) so maybe the worse of the housing crash is over. Or maybe it is just a random burst.

The new house is next to the little park that is the subject of today's other post.

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).
