We have a building in our town that has served several uses over the many years it has stood. It was the courthouse and jail in its early years. It's been a fine restaurant a few times and a loud tavern too many times. It is now going through another phase of its history. It is in the process of becoming a fine restaurant with live jazz and blues music. It's a throw back to when Grafton was the home of Paramount Records, where many of the greatest blues performers recorded. (Gene Autry, too!)

You never know what you'll find until you remove the stuccowork from a building.

    Same here about the signs--our town has refurbished a couple of the old advertising signs. Okay, so we did two things right.

    Hope the sign is kept..........smalltown are you serious about the two signal lights, if so, where is your small town.............we use to have only a couple of lights, now one might call us the 'red light district' because of so many lights, not the other reason.,

    - Blessings
