"The haunts of happiness are varied, but I have more often found her among little children, home firesides, and country houses than anywhere else."

To our Readers:  John has kept the bookshop OPEN regular hours [I would have closed and picketed the Mayor's office.]  We have no dust control on Highway 3 in front of the bookshop.  On Friday afternoon several of us reached out to the municipality, the various project managers including Councillor Fred Morison, County of Haldimand Project Mgr. Mike King, Elgin Construction and Vallee Consultants.  In his defence, Councillor Morison came to the Towpath on The Grand and to The Neat Little Bookshop on Saturday.  We do not understand how these conditions have been allowed to exist; however, we are hoping for water/calcium trucks to begin regular trips along Talbot Street (Hwy 3) as early as today, Monday.




We actually thought that the absence of public parking would shut us down ~ the dust issue has become more urgent.  Although the locals call it Talbot Street, this is the main artery from Windsor to Fort Erie ~ a heavily travelled highway with trucks and various vehicles that were in the past prohibited from crossing the old bridge. Let's lower the speed limit temporarily during construction from 50 km to 30 and bring in the dust control trucks.
