I think I just heard someone say they loved the gazebo- in so many words

Can’t you think of a more appropriate analogy than Granny’s sweater?
I guess folks are entitled to an opinion in government related matters. I don’t care what people do with their money on their own property.

Hah! I guess that would depend on your point of view.

tpreed.

I’ve wondered about using such a ground cover there too..My question would be about the lifespan of such a product.

Also, I don’t like the gazebo either, but I doubt it’s going to be changed.

I am appalled that anyone would write so rudely about a gift. What do you do at Christmas, throw the ugly sweater right back at granny’s face?

I remember that the bandstand had to be a ‘gazebo’ and it had to be located where it is presently. There were very intelligent alternative proposals by others in the community who questioned the wisdom of plopping the thing in the middle of the greenspace, but the Harris/Menne tag team wouldn’t listen to anything else. It was Harris family money and as you know money talks. So, this is what we have and this is why we call it “Green” space.

Wow. Did not realize that. That is very generous of Linda. I’ll get the story directly from her I guess. I am sure there is a reason.
