It's a sunny Friday afternoon at the Jefferson Community Center in Eureka when the kids begin their afternoon harvesting. The garden beds bear a bountiful.
Jefferson moves forward in aftermath of Town Hall fire
April 28, 2021JEFFERSON In Jefferson, following the devastating fire earlier this year that destroyed the Town Hall, things are business as usual. The Town Offices have been up and running at the old Jefferson Elementary School, now known as the Jefferson Community Center (JCC).
Jefferson Fire Chief Chris Milligan says progress is being made on all counts. We re in the process right now of cleaning up the site at the old Town Hall. Eventually, the Library and the Historical Society will be moved to the old school. That was the plan prior to the fire, said Milligan.
The French word
flâneur isn t a word you hear much around here. It originally meant a 19th century male who loitered, strolled and wandered around Paris. Although born 100 years later, Henry Miller, who meandered all over Paris in the 1930s, was one. After he left France, he wrote, There are scarcely any streets in Paris I did not get to know. I fancy myself a flâneur, too, as I wander around Eureka, usually on foot but occasionally starting by bike or car.
One afternoon, I headed out for my stroll around town. I live in Old Town, so the boardwalk was the obvious choice. But nope, didn t feel like that. Instead I decided to meander up D Street toward the only green space in my neighborhood.
