The New Litchfield Museum

looks like a group of folks that have spent their lives making Litchfield what it is today. a city with a committee ,hell , maybe C M T will rent space to house their 50 yr's of litchfield history.

I'm surprised that someone didn't get seriously injured at the groundbreaking with everyone holding a shovel and jockeying to be closest to the camera.

What a waste of time and money when the town is falling apart.

If us whiteys didn't do something to stir up the negroes they wouldn't have anything to protest. When Zimmerman gets off they will burn darktown to the ground.

They still sell ammo(for now if B O doesn't ban it)

vet stop by ,i give you a map of where mines buried ,incase they get me first.

Your right,no alzheimer's there

EPA-- law says gas tanks must be removed from the property before building.Did the city remove them ??????????

Hopefully they were removed, but I don't remember that happening

I guess they will wait until the building is finished to find out.
Then if they are still in place, I guarantee there will be no occupancy there. We will see if the code officer, the two building inspectors and the city admin, and mayor can pull their weight on IL EPA and then on US EPA like they do all of the other citizens of this community.

me thinks the musium has gas, me thinks thats why that property hasn;t sold in twenty yrs, course when ya got a mayor and city manadger telling people don't worry we will take care of it,any thing goes, a building permit,a parking variance,zoning hell my neighbor got a ticket and was made to pay for a building permit for a portable building, my my my how times have changed , some people say the Mayor is Pissed,well lets wait and see how much chicken shit gets cleaned out of CITY HALL when andy rides back in town.

RED ya had it nailed on your first post, now lets see just how far the taxpayers let this go .
