National Street Work

I posted the other day about the digging that was going on outside our home and they had a picture of it in the paper on Thursday. Pictured is Jay Frazier with Walker Walker and Wells Contractors, of Tallulah, preparing for installation of a 24-inch storm drain pipe on National Street Wednesday. Two blocks of National Street was blocked off for the pipe to be installed. The plastic pipe is replacing clay pipe in place for about 100 years.

They are finished on our street but left a lot of white gravel. We need a big rain to wash it all away. We should get some rain out of now tropical storm Ike making its way inland. We have had a lot of high winds. We were spared this time around. Have seen a lot of campers and motor homes parking at the Wal Mart parking lot and around town trying to escape from hurricane Ike.
