Baker is what this town was started and built on. It is what makes this town go. If the college was not here all the businesses would close.
Do you really think that some warehouse is going to bring a lot of great jobs that pay anything over minumum wage, and do you really think that those low paid workers will be able to live here? No they will drive from Franklin, and Osage County.
My point is the intermodal will not be this huge boom that people here think. Do your research on other intermodals that have been up and running in other places.
I would be happy to pay my frontage for it, but since the city would have to put up a chunk too for their property i guess that's the reason they won't do it for my street.
As for rock I put in a neighborhood request every year on the web site and we get new rock after the winter but yes it is a mess with the dust. Call the county, we did one year and they said that we were eligible for their program since we pay county taxes just like the houses outside the city limits.
My guess was you were dealing with our city Dingbat. He only puts out for projects that benefit him. Take pictures of your mud soaked road when it is raining and send to the council. Most of them don't have a clue what our streets are like.
Douglas County learns Baldwin City will lose an ambulance in 2011
As you can see from the new story it was all up to Corliss not the DGCO commissioners.

Third grade moved to BESPC for 2010-2011 school year
But I thought that the old building was not fit or up to codes to use. That is why we had to build a new building.
That was part of the deal. We would have the preschool in the same location and building as the primary center.

Officials: Baldwin City ambulance staff won’t be cut
Wow the Ghost and I agree on something. If you only knew the half of Coreless ways.
Glad we have two strong voices on the Commission that won't lay down for Lawrence. Thanks Flory and Weinaug.

I agree with you, but Mediacom is running 10Gb/s and almost 1Gb/s up at my house. I would like to know what the Direct TV is really like.

If you want to make some money from the intermodal we need a truck stop. That is the only thing that is going to come to our town. Trucks.
