Almost completely unrelated to yesterday’s blog post, but definitely tied to one from last week, is some sad news from Gladbrook. The entire school complex is likely to be torn down, says the Grundy Register. That includes the swimming pool, built in 1968. Adding insult to injury (should it be the case), on a financial and morale standpoint, is losing the half-million-dollar, decade-old fitness center.
Oof. Just, ouch.
(Side question: Yes, the lights are off at the Northern Sun-Print, caught up in the move to Tama along with the Star-Clipper, but does that mean no one’s home, either? Nothing’s happened on the paper’s website for a year.)
