Those mills are such a pain in the ass to get to by anything but car (and even then...)

I know it's technically impossible, but there just needs to be sidewalks. I live closer to ceremony than to Common Ground, but I ended up going to common ground because I could walk there.

It's not impossible not even close. It's just not anywhere close to a priority for this city, which can't even make the sidewalks it already has ADA compliant. New sidewalks? Forget about it.

They could at least clear the brush, but they don't. There is actually space for a shoulder but it's completely overgrown.

Seems like some sort of elevated walkway would be possible sine the one side is so high.

this makes me really sad, firefly and ceremony were some of my favorite spots in the mill

I just discovered them recently, dang it.

Oh well. The only constant is change, as they say.

I'm glad that The Wine Source carries Ceremony, but sometimes they are out of fresher bags, and it takes me a while to go through them, so I don't buy them if they were roasted more than 7-10 days previously.

I am very sad about firefly, their wines and beers were legit. Loved going there to get some work done with someone while drinking a bottle of good wine.

Five and Dime was absolute garbage the last time I went toward the end of last year. Not surprised to see them go.
