Too close to the bridge!  Too close to the bridge!  Too close to the bridge!
I'm glad I took several pictures, last Spring, of the Dogwoods blooming between the bridge & mill, knowing this area was going to be "cultivated"...

For those of you who care the murals in the Hospitality House are still up and the walls are painted.  I hope this means they are staying!

I would predict the murals have a significant monetary value.

Maybe not the actual "PTB" but there are people from HFEC/SDC that monitor this and other sites.

While it may seem too close to the bridge, at least the bridge wasn't taken down...That would have been a tragedy...Just trying to focus on the positive I guess....

The concept art doesn't look a thing like the area that was chosen for this project.  Here are some random thoughts:

There's no bridge at all in the artwork, plus all the little huts/treehouses all appear to be sitting on large tree stumps, but the photos make it look like it's going to be a collection of stilt houses.

I hope the yellow plastic-looking slide is made to appear more themed than it does in the art.

I wonder what the purpose of the mailbox is.  Is it a talking mailbox?  Is it interactive at all?

This really doesn't look like a million dollar idea yet.  I wonder where the great expense is in this project.

This thing has only been under construction for a few weeks now, so there's a lot to be done before anyone can really pass judgment on it, IMO. Right now it's just a bunch of sticks in the ground.

I think the concept art was more concept than anything. This looks like it will be a whole lot bigger and better than the little that was shown there. Considering the very young target age group, there's not going to be much more to it than stilted playhouses connected by ramps, but I expect the finished project will be fun to look at, at least.

I have seen the fake tree pieces that the tree houses will be sitting on, so it won't just be stilts.  I will look for some photos that S. Fred Prince did Junior!
