    Looks Beautiful. I am so happy to to see this when I ride by. I hope some of other homes will be restored in Century. I love the old two story ones on North Jefferson. How exciting not just for the Boutwells but a shiny jewel repolished. A beacon for hope in Century. William, I know you did a fine job of covering the damage done in Century, as things are rebuilt or new things restored could you cover that too?. I’d like to celebrate good news too. This is good news and makes me feel proud.
