Do you know this dog or can you take him in?  He is a sweet, well-mannered fellow who is clearly used to being inside.  He’s relaxing in our living room at the moment.  He was famished when we found him this morning (Tues.) outside our house on Hillcrest Ave.  He had a blue collar but no tags.   As much as we like him, there’s no room at the inn, so we can’t keep him for more than a day or two.  Please call Windsor at or if you can help.

Thanks, Lewis Jones

In response to conversations about “Clark Music” in another thread, Clark sends in this photo of the old Clark Music store on Decatur Square.  Awesome!

In case you’re still in the planning stages for Independence Day, here are the details of Decatur’s July 4th schedule and what you need to do to join in on the annual “Pied Piper Parade”.  From The Decatur Minute…

Help us celebrate Independence Day in Decatur by joining our Pied Piper Parade. Decorate your bike, wagon, or scooter-dress up in a silly costume, or go big and create a patriotic float to be a part of our annual community parade.

Have a kazoo band? Come join us!  Play the tuba? Come join us! The more the merrier.  Line-up is at 5:30pm on Thursday, July 4^th at the Decatur First Baptist Church.  Pedestrians gather on the lawn and vehicles will be lined up by volunteers in the parking lot.
