The city has more money because they have a lot smaller are to take care of.

Who ( I wonder) strategically placed that orange sign just to suit themselves. Your flower pictures are lovely. Is that a white bindweed flower poking through the fence? Bindweed is prolific here this year. The white flowers look so pure and innocent, but what a nightmare to eradicate.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-10353241971484294242014-08-27T14:07:16.774-04:002014-08-27T14:07:16.774-04:00Hari OM

I love the photo of the stubborn flower - keep on fighting, it says. <br />As to 'Where to park?': Sunday a friend of us was too lazy to walk 1 kilometre to a posh café in Berlin, were we met. Later he mailed us: "I had to pay 8 Euro for the parking garage - urrgh." (I think he will take to walking now -- so much healthier :-) Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-59446386998030520282014-08-27T00:20:28.702-04:002014-08-27T00:20:28.702-04:00All too familiar, particularly in the country here...All too familiar, particularly in the country here too.

There have been a few already who have given up their town status - they just can't make it financially any more. And there are more and more who are looking that direction. Part of the issue here is that provincial responsibilities are being downloaded onto towns and counties. Another part of the issue is out-migration of taxpayers. The towns and counties just can't cope.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-9838139901929360402014-08-26T20:59:08.347-04:002014-08-26T20:59:08.347-04:00Thanks for taking the time and effort to take the ...Thanks for taking the time and effort to take the photos of the damage, repair and the persistent flowers that continue to bloom no matter what. Weirder than usual rain storms here too. A lot of flowing mud and a lot of grain farmers in trouble with the lack of dry weather for harvest. One benefit--no wildfires in the neighborhood to smoke up the skies and destroy forest and range land.
