Tree Climbing

Look closely. This climber from Ricky’s Tree Service has worked his way high up a tree on North Main Street. Certainly good social distancing!

More Dining Out

A waitress serves a couple in one of the tables that Zantos restaurant set out at the end of June, adding that popular spot to the local outdoor dining opportunities reported in last month’s Observer.

Condo Units Rise
