Caroline Wells and I finally exchanged some notes, and she sent me the original proposal that they made to the DEM. I'll be reading it this week. They are trying their best to improve the town -- you have to give them points for that. I personally feel that Warren is limited by its geography. Downtown being on a hill doesn't help, and the way the streets were built up from the river doesn't help, and none of that can be changed now.

I still have concerns that the plans won't have much effect, but others disagree with me. We keep trying to turn Warren into a go-to place, but I think it will never be that.

A definite decision to put in 30 parking spaces hasn't been made yet, thank God.

I was told that the money for this project can't be used to pave streets or fix walls.

I'll post more as I learn about it.
