Rumors and speculation

- The Albion Heritage Group has a good looking website up. Check it out. They seem to be closing in on getting Miller Hall completed. This means some folks coming to the area and spending some time there. Are we going to see an uptick in business revenue? I would guess so for the four businesses in town. Is it time that someone invested some capital in a symbiotic business? (By symbiotic I mean mutually beneficial.) I guess the answer will be born out as we see if the Mortenson's succeed or fail in this monumental endeavor. If the Campus turns into a hub of activity, there should be some opportunity for folks.

- Are the property lines actually barriers to construction in Albion? I have talked to two different guys that are trying to deal with neighbors that have built on their property. On case was an unclear property line. But seriously, if you aren't positive shouldn't you hire a surveyor? The second case is pure malfeasance. Someone knowing exactly where the line is and they go ahead and build an out building that goes ten feet over the line. That would push me over the edge. Property rights are the foundation of freedom and this kind of disrespect cannot be tolerated.

- Mountain Meadow's subdivision has a new house under construction. Eight down and fourteen to go. The lots in the cul-de-sac are supposed to be $50K each. That is some expensive real estate. I am not sure that anyone is going to pay that price when the roads to your house aren't even paved. C'mon. I am going to blame that one on the the city council for not making demanding that one entry be paved by the developer.
