Skyhook demolition clears unsafe block near fair
The Skyhook plant at 17th and Main in Ottawa has been partially razed to remove the riskiest section before next week’s Franklin County Fair. About 1/5 of the cement structure came down, amid plans to stabilize the site and potential creation of a Tax Increment Financing district to spur manufacturing. Costs total about 8500 funded by Manitex Skycrane of Georgetown, Texas, with the city budgeting 25000 for demolitions annually.

In a Europe trip I found ice and tap water scarce with wine favored like beverages. Milk is rare and bottles often supply water with or without gas. European meals stretch long with pork, seafood and desserts while coffee accompanies. Americans should embrace public transit and slow meals. Jeanny Sharp notes.
