Rising and Fallen

There seems to be a new business coming to downtown Rensselaer. Workers are remodeling inside the building between Doggers and Steffan's on Washington Street. There is a dumpster next to the City parking lot and it was full. It appeared that fairly new wall dividers had been torn out. The building was the office of Dr. Pellicore several years ago and it changed ownership in late November. There are signs in the window that say, "Top Secret."

Something is brewing downtown. We will just have to wait and see what it is.

The weather seems to have slowed construction on the Sayler Apartments on North Elza. There is still nothing above ground level.

Demolition has reduced almost everything to ground level at the former site of Superior Sales and Service. When I was by a week or two ago, the slab of the main building was gone but one of the back buildings was still standing. Now it is rubble.

It is hard to see progress on the high-rate treatment plant but what is metal half or quarter cylinders arrived. It appears that they can be put together to make a very large cylinder.

On Thursday I noticed a large metal pipe that I had not seen before.

I doubt if I will post again before Christmas. Have a merry one.
