For Dan Brown Fans

The new Dan Brown book, The Lost Symbol comes out on September 15.
For anxious secret-society fans, the book cover was recently revealed depicting a wax seal, a double-headed Phoenix and the Latin phrase, "Ordo ae chao," meaning Order from Chaos.
This all set against a background of ancient symbols.

The Lost Symbol follows several best sellers, The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress and Deception Point.

Good Reads

Invitations are extended to us everyday on the internet. One intrigued me this week ~ probably because of the person who sent it. Grace is going into third -- or is it forth? -- year English, at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario.

http://www.goodreads.com/ "See what your friends are reading" is the websites' claim. The Most Followed screen is interesting. Regular contributors discuss books that they are reading. There is an Author Blog Post where you will find names like Alice Hoffman discussing her latest book. Other features: Authors Recently On-line, Exclusive Interviews, Author Blog Post.
goodreads is definitely worth exploring.

We are Eating the Squirrel's Nuts

Future Planning for Downtown Core

We will post the details of public meetings, apparently to be held tomorrow, Thursday, July 23, regarding planning of Haldimand's downtown business sections as soon as we have the information.

UPDATE: PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE,

Cayuga Lions Hall, 57 Munsee Street, South.

3:00p.m. - 4:30p.m. and 6:00p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Please plan to come.

Corner of Cayuga and King

Cayuga Street between King Street and Hwy #3 is not unlike many small Ontario towns.
After decades of being the hub of activity with hardware stores, drug stores, grocers, clothing shops, the barber ~ usually the Post Office, Library, Village Green and a couple hotels ~ the street falls into neglect as strip malls lure shoppers to new locations.
The events of this past week have drawn people back to the downtown core and shown that with a little planning ~ and a lot of heart ~ downtown Cayuga-On-The-Grand is a fun place to be.

Watching the Parade

The Neat Little Bookshop will re-open after holidays on Wednesday,July 29.
