Second Web Site

Just received an email about a second web site promoting the Black River/Valley area.
I understand that many people in the Lesterville area were without electricity for 3 to 5 days last week and now the creeks/river are high because of the rain last night. There is a lot I miss about living in Peola Valley, but no power and high water are not on my list.

Progress With the Ameren Fine $$$

Here is an article about how some of the $5 million is being spent to make everyone safer.

Food and Wi-Fi

We made a trip back to Lesterville to continue packing up the pottery equipment. While there we stopped by the Black River Ice Cream Parlor. Donna and Terry Foster have redone the entrance and the main room to better serve you. So plan on stopping by next time you are in Lesterville.

Down the street at the Angry Minnow, a new place in town (for you old timers its in the building where Kelly's Corner was for years) you can order some food and check your email on your Iphone. As far as I know its the only place in Lesterville with wi-fi.

Finally we went to Ironton to try the new mexican restaurant, Casa Nuevo. Its located in the building that used to be Andy's. Very large menu and service and food were good. So on you way down it's a place to try.
