🚧 Roseau Construction Chronicles: Day 37
📍 Erickson Family Chiropractic
⛈️ Mood: Stormy skies & calm cones

In front of our office:
It’s been eerily quiet. Not a single construction worker in sight for a couple of weeks now.
✅ Driveway: DONE. (Cue confetti and a soft golf clap)
⚠️ But be warned: there’s still a solid bump getting into the lot. If your car has low clearance or you’re emotionally fragile, approach with caution.

🐾 MASCOT SITUATION:
The OG mascots remain steady, loyal, and—dare we say—organized. They’ve formed a silent praise circle around the giraffe cone, and we can only assume a spiritual awakening is imminent.
We don’t fully understand the ritual, but we support it with the kind of passive curiosity you give to weird neighbors and lawn art. (See photo.)

🔍 Conspiracy Corner:
No new mascots have appeared since construction wrapped up on our end of town. Coincidence? Or did the mysterious mascot fairy retire with the concrete crew? We’re watching. They’re watching. Everyone’s watching.

🚜 WEST END CHAOS:
Meanwhile, over on Hwy 89 to the bridge, the real action is happening.
While the rest of town prepares for deep-fried chaos, Davidson is out there pouring sidewalks like pros. Rain? Humidity? Parade detours? Doesn’t matter. These folks are on a mission.

🎡 FAIR WEEK IS HERE
Roseau County Fair, which means:
• Congestion
• Chaos
• A town-wide emotional unraveling held together only by cheese curds and caffeine

🚫 Reminders from people who don’t want to get sued:
• No parade seating near Hwy 11 construction or on Center Street
• Center Street will be a live parade/traffic hybrid zone and frankly, no one has the reflexes for that

🟧 Driving through town? Take the orange detour.
Because nothing says “insurance claim nightmare” like explaining you got T-boned by a Shriner on a snowmobile in July while holding a funnel cake.

🚘 See attached photo/map for official parking zones. Yes, it matters. No, you can’t “just squeeze in here.”

Quick Recap:
✔️ Clinic = Open
✔️ Driveway = Functional (but spicy)
✔️ Mascots = Possibly starting a religion
✔️ Fair = May the corndogs be ever in your favor
❌ Parade seating near cones = An absolute no from us

More updates soon—weather, mascot behavior, and public safety permitting.
Until then: respect the cones, obey the detour, and may your week be filled with goldfish victories, Bjerk’s corn dogs, and parking spots that don’t require tactical maneuvers.

We remain:
✅ Still open
✅ Still adjusting
✅ Still providing top-tier chiropractic care

🚧 Roseau Construction Chronicles: Day 34
📍 Erickson Family Chiropractic
⏳ Mood: Watching goo dry

East side update? Minimal.

🔹 The green hydroseed goo has been sprayed on the black dirt.
🔹 Streetlights are now installed east of the bridge—bringing ambiance to the rubble.
🔹 Our driveway remains blocked off with cones and crime scene tape. Unclear if it’s protecting wet cement or hiding a cement-related scandal. Either way, no access yet.
👉 Keep using the driveway in front of MN Energy (halfway between us and Earl’s Drive-In).

🎉 BIGGEST NEWS: Parade Chaos, Officially Sanctioned
According to the Roseau Police Department (yes, this is real—and the official notice is attached).

🗺️ Check the attached map:
• Red = Parade Route
• Orange = Parade Detour
• Blue = Parade Staging Area

✅ The parade WILL cross over the Hwy 11 construction site.
🚫 Parade-goers may NOT sit or stand on or near the torn-up stretch of Hwy 11 (unless you are, in fact, a traffic cone).
🚷 And don’t even think about unfolding your lawn chair on Center Street. Officers will be stopping the parade PERIODICALLY to let cars through, which is basically a logistical magic trick in small-town form. It’s a delicate ballet of floats, flags, and Ford F-150s. Don’t be the reason someone swerves into a tractor tossing candy.

For traffic:
➡️ Just trying to get through Roseau? Use the orange detour.
↔️ If you don’t: congratulations! Center Street is your new Hwy 11—temporarily.
🟧 The detour will be marked with signs starting Monday, but won’t go into effect until the parade begins. So if you see signs early, don’t panic—they’re just setting the mood.

🟧 ORANGE DETOUR ROUTE, EXPLAINED

Coming from the East (heading west):
• Turn left on Park Road (11th Ave SE)
• Turn right on Center Street
• Turn left on 2nd Ave SE
• Turn right on 6th Street SE
• Continue to Hwy 89—go left or right depending on your destination

Coming from the West (heading east):
• From Hwy 89, turn left on 6th Street SE
• Turn left on 2nd Ave SE
• Turn right on Center Street
• Turn left on Park Road (11th Ave SE) to reconnect with Hwy 11

🚗 REMINDER: Starting at 3:00 PM on parade day, no parking on Main Ave between 5th St. North and 3rd St. South.

In summary:
✔️ Erickson Family Chiropractic = Open
✔️ Parade = On
✔️ Detour = Prepped
✔️ Grass = Growing
❌ Driveway = Still on the no-fly list

More updates soon. Until then—protect the mascots, respect the cones, and may your parking be effortless.

🚧 Roseau Construction Chronicles: Day 32
📍 Erickson Family Chiropractic
⏳ Mood: Waiting. Watching.

After 16 long days of driveway-less existence, whispered complaints, and dramatic internal monologues—we have BIG NEWS:

THE DRIVEWAY HAS BEEN POURED.
No soft launch. No press release.
A concrete miracle delivered straight from the heavens? You bet your Hi-Boy it is.

And if that wasn’t enough—we also got a brand-new streetlight today.
Somewhere out there, Thomas Edison is slow-clapping.

Erickson Family Chiropractic:
✅ Still open
✅ Still adjusting

🚗 How to Reach Us:
-Use the entry in front of MN Energy (from Hwy 11)
-Take the side street by Earl’s Drive-In (Bonus points if you stop for a Java Smoothie after your appointment)
-Bounce your way down the back alley/grass trail—also known as “The Oregon Trail: Parking Edition”

🔸 In Front of Our Office
The driveway has been poured.
We repeat—THE DRIVEWAY HAS BEEN POURED.

Maybe the crew sensed our growing impatience.
Maybe they finally located us on the blueprints.
Maybe it was the plan all along and we’re just dramatic.
(Probably that last one, but let us have this.)

Either way, the long-lost slab of promise has finally been installed. It’s fresh. It’s smooth. It’s curing slowly in the rain—moody, dramatic, and deeply Minnesotan. Just like us at this point.

Here’s the updated layout:
Highway 11 → Fresh Driveway → Fancy Blacktop → Parking Lot

Please continue using the MN Energy entrance until the driveway is officially open—because patience is a virtue, and cement curing is not a race.

🔸Hwy 11: From Hwy 89 to the Bridge:
Still closed to through traffic—because greatness takes time (and a lot of cones).
That said, seriously impressive work is happening out there. Grading, curbing, machine choreography—it’s all looking sharp.

🔸 Hwy 11 / Main Ave Intersection:
The intersection is supposed to be open in time for the Roseau County Fair.*
Yes, that County Fair.
The one that begins exactly ONE WEEK FROM TODAY.

Will the road be open in time for the madness?
Unclear.
But these crews haven’t let us down yet, and we’ve seen them hustle like a dad who spotted dandelions in the neighbor’s yard and refuses to be next.

*We got this intel straight from the grapevine of unverified—but probably reliable—sources. May or may not be accurate.

🔸 Hwy 11 Bridge:
Things are definitely happening here. Construction is active. Equipment is moving. Dirt is shifting. Curbs are curbing.
We have no idea what the actual timeline is, but the energy is very “just wait, it’s going to be amazing.”

🔸 Hwy 11 / Park Road:
Still vibing in its rugged phase.
If you’ve ever wanted to simulate off-roading in a mid-sized sedan—this is your moment.

🔸 Mascot Update:
The double-stacked cone still reigns as Traffic Giraffe Supreme™, but there was drama in the kingdom.

A rogue “For Sale” sign appeared next to our beloved mascots earlier today.
We don’t know who did it… but they know. And now they must live with that shame like a family hiding from the youth hockey board members during the county fair because they “accidentally” skipped their food stand shift.

But, in an unexpected turn of events, the sign is now gone.
We THINK the cement crew took it down—presumably as shocked as we were.
Real heroes wear reflective vests and pour driveways.

The mascots remain on watch—ever-vigilant, ever-judging—and now slightly more famous.
You mess with the mascots… and the whole town knows by noon.
(Or at least the 37 of us emotionally invested in lawn mascots. Same thing.)

We remain:
✅ Open
✅ Still providing top-tier chiropractic care, now flanked by fresh concrete, emotional whiplash, and cones that somehow multiply overnight.

🚨 BREAKING MASCOT NEWS 🚨
📍 Live from the treeline near Erickson Family Chiropractic

We interrupt your scrolling with an urgent lawn-based scandal.

In a stunning act of disrespect, a “For Sale” sign was discovered next to the beloved lawn mascots sometime in the last 24 hours.

Let us be clear:
THE MASCOTS ARE NOT FOR SALE.
Not the Dalmatians.
Not the sparkly cardinal.
Not the emotionally unavailable bunny.
Not the owl with a reattached head.
Not even the lantern frog.

We may not know who did this…
But they know.
And now they must live with that choice.
Forever.
Through every traffic cone sighting.
Through every cheese curd-induced moment of reflection during the county fair.

This is a burden they must tote through life like a high school hockey player who ‘forgot’ to turn in their breezers in 2007 and still avoids the athletic director at every alumni game.

In related news, two additional orange cones have been placed near the scene—presumably by a local Good Samaritan as extra visual reinforcement that THE MASCOTS ARE NOT UP FOR GRABS.
We thank you for your service. You are seen. You are appreciated.

Further updates to come as this story develops.
Stay safe, stay alert, and above all—protect the mascots.

⸝

Disclaimer: This is obviously satire. The mascots are real. The drama is not.

Here comes another episode of Roseau Construction Chronicles—the longest-running, least-accurate show in town.
Who needs Netflix when you’ve got heavy machinery, suspiciously smooth sand, and lawn mascots silently judging your every move?

🔸 In Front of Our Office
East side construction was quiet on Friday—no visible activity, no new dirt piles, no dramatic equipment moves.
The mascots are huddled. Watching. Possibly plotting.
We don’t want to alarm anyone… but we’ve seen this energy before.
Mascot content incoming.

And the sidewalk sand? It’s looking unnaturally smooth. Like, suspiciously perfect. Like someone hand-troweled it with love and a spirit level.
If sand had skincare, this would be its “after” photo. 10/10. No notes. See photo. It’s everything.

🔸 Hwy 11: From 89 to Main Ave
We’ve reviewed the official MnDOT plans (read: skimmed them between memes), and here’s the scoop:
📆 July 7–11:
Storm sewer installed west of the Roseau River bridge. Sewer, as in underground drama. The dirt is being violated for a good cause.

📆 July 14–18:
They’re bringing in the fancy stuff: grading and curb & gutter installation.
You heard that right—curbs. Gutters. The red carpet of road prep. We might cry.

🔸 Hwy 11 / Main Ave
Still closed.
There is a crater so dramatic it deserves its own weather pattern. Standing near it feels like you’re one bad decision away from meeting a Ninja Turtle or falling into a 1990s disaster movie

🔸 Hwy 11 Bridge
Dust clouds? ✅
Orange barrels flying in formation? ✅
Machines revving like they’ve got sponsorships from diesel and determination? ✅
Still closed? ✅

🔸 Hwy 11 / Park Road
Still dirt. Still cones. Still under construction.
Heading east out of Roseau, the road has developed a charming little washboard effect—ideal for testing your suspension and your patience.
No visible progress, but plenty of vibes. Stay bumpy, Roseau.

🦺 Mascot Update
Mascot Nation has been rocked by a new development:
They’ve turned their collective energy toward a double-stacked, disturbingly tall traffic cone that has appeared like an orange giraffe in their midst.

It’s giving main character energy.
It’s giving “I skipped the union meeting.”
It’s giving “I’m here to lead, not blend.”
And the rest of the crew? Not having it.

We caught the owl throwing side-eye.
The bunny scooted two inches closer to the tree like it couldn’t be associated.
One of the Dalmatians is definitely plotting a turf check.
The cardinal? Still glowing. Still ominous.
The lantern frog? Just vibing. Glowing. Absorbing secrets. Possibly the true mastermind behind it all.

Whoever is behind this mascot masterpiece—we still don’t know.
But we picture them hunched over in a dimly lit garage, cackling like a supervillain as they dig through their grandma’s lawn décor stash, muttering, “Yes… yes… the Dalmatian with no eyes. This will unsettle them perfectly.”

Whoever you are, you’ve taken this construction site and turned it into a full-blown roadside drama with zero budget and unlimited imagination.
You’ve somehow made detours, loud machinery, and daily inconvenience fun.

Please, for the love of Roseau—never stop.

We remain:
✅ Open
✅ Still providing top-tier chiropractic care, surrounded by traffic cones and plot twists

🚧 Roseau Construction Chronicles: Day 29
📍 Erickson Family Chiropractic
🕶️ Vibe: Caffeinated optimism

🐻Non-Construction-Related But Extremely Important Note:
A baby bear was spotted east of Roseau near Heppner’s Granary this morning, adorably (and very dangerously) attempting to cross the highway before running back into the woods.

So if you’re headed that way, slow down, stay alert, and whatever you do—do not pull over yelling “LET ME PET THAT DOG!!”
We repeat: it is not a dog.
We know it’s small. We know it’s cute. But this is not your Disney princess moment.

Now that you’ve had your morning bear PSA, let’s reel it back in for today’s main event: another wildly captivating episode of Roseau Construction Chronicles:

Erickson Family Chiropractic:
✅ Still open
✅ Still adjusting
❌ No front driveway/entry access

🚗 How to Reach Us Without Becoming a Cautionary Tale:
• Use the entry in front of MN Energy (From Hwy 11)
• Take the side street by Earl’s Drive-In
• Or use the back alley/grass trail

⚠️ Please do not drive off the cliff near the freshly poured sidewalks. We cannot stress this enough.
Someone tried. They attempted a reverse-Austin Powers maneuver right at the ledge. Ended up doing a 17-point shuffle on the edge of the abyss before driving away, wondering if anyone saw. We did. All of us did. And we will never forget. 10/10 performance. 0/10 decision-making.

🔸 Outside Our Office:
Our front driveway/entry is still MIA—replaced with a tasteful installation of cones and caution tape that says, “not today, folks.”
But progress is happening. Rumor has it we will have a real driveway by next week.

This morning, construction crews were back at it—sweeping with a massive machine and doing several other things we absolutely could not identify, despite watching intently from the window.
It all looked very official. There was movement. There was purpose. There were vests.

🔸 Hwy 11: From 89 to Main Ave
Still dirt, but now with extra flair: massive cement cylinders scattered around like someone’s playing SimCity on expert mode.
There’s heavy equipment everywhere, and the crew is in full productivity mode. Whatever they’re doing—it’s dusty, it’s loud, and it’s giving strong “future pavement” energy. Keep going, team.

🔸 Hwy 11 Bridge:
Fresh sidewalks, precision gravel piles, and one determined orange barrel guarding the work zone like a traffic-themed Marvel hero. We salute you, Barrelman.

🔸 Hwy 11/Park Road
Those orange “BUMP” signs on Hwy 11/Park Road? They’re not there for ambiance.
They mean bump. Like, spine-rattling, coffee-launching, dash-cursing bump.
Please slow down. We can’t adjust your shocks. Only your vertebrae.

Neighborhood News You Didn’t Ask For (But Should Know):
⛽️Northern Resources/Cenex has stepped up with expanded hours and extra staff while Holiday transitions to Circle K
⛽️Denny’s Gas Station is also open and fully accessible from Highway 11

The ground may shake, the barrels may multiply, and the caution tape may try to consume us—but through it all, we’ll be here—absolutely guessing what’s happening out there and actually knowing what we’re doing in here.
Come for the chaos, stay for the chiropractic.

📍 Erickson Family Chiropractic
⏰ Time: Construction o’clock
🌀 Mood: Paving the way (literally) for better days and smoother driveways

💥 Erickson Family Chiropractic:
✅ Still open
✅ Still adjusting
✅ Still pretending we know what “paving prep” means

🎇 The 4th of July weekend brought fireworks, fun, family and a little too much sun—but now we return to our true calling: delivering overly enthusiastic, under-researched construction updates with the confidence of someone who absolutely did not verify their sources. We don’t know how we got here. But the reflective vests spoke to us… and we answered.
So grab your coffee, brace for emotional gravel, and settle in—here comes today’s episode of Roseau Construction Chronicles.

🔹 Outside Our Office:
The construction crew showed up early—possibly fueled by caffeine, ambition, and the faint sound of cheering from our side of the window.

The middle entrance by BNJ Plumbing and Minnesota Energy? Paved. Beautiful. Ready to accept your vehicle like it’s been waiting its whole life.

The main entrance in front of our office is currently being prepped for its glow-up. Cement trucks are spinning, workers are focused, and we’re over here whispering sweet encouragements like, “this driveway is gonna be the smoothest thing in Roseau since Earl’s milkshakes”

We’ve been told we’ll be fully paved and fabulous by week’s end—and we’re choosing to believe it like it’s the weather forecast before a lake weekend. Full trust.

🔸 Hwy 11 / Park Road Intersection:
Still dirt. Still a bump. Still cones out there absolutely vibing and freestyling the traffic flow and somehow… it’s working? Miracles.

🔸 Hwy 11 from Hwy 89 to the Bridge:
Still closed. Still testing our patience. Still not a shortcut—even if your grandma clutches the steering wheel and says, “I know a back way.”

🔸 Hwy 11 from the Bridge to Park Road:
Wide open like it’s trying to impress someone. The cones are still there though, loitering like teenagers at the mall.

🧸 Mascot Update:
The dream team is still holding the line:

Mickey and the Dalmatian remain stationed at the front door—channeling the exact energy of hockey parents who’ve white-knuckled it through a blizzard - only to arrive at the rink to hear “I forgot my jersey”

The other Dalmatians, the frog, the bunny, the cardinal, and the owl are still posted up like they’re guarding national treasure—or possibly hosting a woodland-themed HOA meeting.
Are they in charge? Are we? Hard to say anymore.

On the side, Clarence the Bull and his puppy stand firm. Not moving, not blinking, just exuding silent confidence and a suspicious amount of wisdom.

⛽️ Holiday Gas Station Update:
Gone. Shuttered. Kaput.
Farewell, Holiday. We now welcome Circle K—a name that sounds like a wrestling move but might finally give us pumps spaced far enough apart to avoid sideswiping a minivan and the ability to turn around without a 12-point maneuver. We live in hope.

🛣️ BONUS INTEL:
Word on the gravel street is that Hwy 11 resurfacing begins mid-August. So buckle up—we’re not done yet, but the end is allegedly in sight. Sort of. Maybe. Fingers crossed.

🗣️ Patient Quote of the Day:
“Does the plastic bull mean you’re branching into animal chiropractic?”
Understandable. But, no.
If it barks, moos, meows or neighs—it’s out of network.

🚧 Construction Update Day 24 – July 3
📍 Erickson Family Chiropractic
📸 Behold: Hwy 11 in its natural, undisturbed habitat.

We stepped outside this morning expecting the usual orchestra of beeping machines and men staring at wet cement like it just insulted their mother - and instead? Nothing. Not a soul. Just traffic cones holding the line like they’re waiting for a parade that clearly isn’t coming.

👷‍♂️ The crew has clocked out for a well-deserved break and we hope they’re somewhere sipping something cold in the sweet, sweet embrace of central air.

🍔 Earl’s Drive-In is closed until Sunday, which means you’ll have to survive the holiday weekend without HiBoys or gizzards. We know. Thoughts and prayers.

🧘‍♀️ We’re also closed until Monday—giving our hands a rest, recharging our adjustment powers, and finally taking some of that self-care advice we’re always handing out.

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day, Roseau!
Celebrate freely, drive safely, and may your only detours be to refill the cooler.

We’ll be back at with an update on Monday!

🚨 Live from the frontline of Roseau’s longest-running daytime drama…
📍 Erickson Family Chiropractic
🕐 Time: Peak construction hour, also known as “forever o’clock”
🚧 Mood: Shocked, impressed, and mildly suspicious of how fast this is all happening

🚨 Sidewalk Status: Poured. Present. Practically a runway.
After days of emotional prep work, concrete has officially made its debut in front of our office.
She’s smooth. She’s clean. She’s curing.
Is it safe to walk on yet? No.
Will that stop us from standing at the window and whispering “queen”? Also no.

🚪 Dirt Driveway Watch: Day 1
Yesterday: No access. Just cones and crushed dreams.
Today: A full-blown dirt driveway has arrived, and we are not being dramatic when we say it is life-changing.
Can you drive on it? Yes.
Should you? Also yes.

👷‍♂️ Construction Crew Update: 15 Legends in High-Vis
Roughly 15 crew members are working out front today, and we’re honestly not sure how they’re making it look this smooth while surrounded by this much dirt.

Current roles include:
The Trench Whisperer – waist-deep, eyes narrowed, measuring with the kind of intensity that says, “If I’m off by half an inch, we all live in shame.”

The Dirt Sculptor – working with the quiet intensity of a man doing competitive bonsai trimming during a construction rodeo.

The Cement Cutter - He once cut a perfect slab blindfolded during a storm in 2019. No one saw it, but everyone knows it happened.

The Wheelbarrow Commander – moving with the intensity of a man in the final leg of a wheelbarrow relay race, and he’s not here for silver.

The Sweeping Specialist – out here making the ground look good like the sidewalks have a red carpet premiere coming.

The Cement Truck Guardian – standing watch over the Stoskopf truck like it’s the Batmobile and he’s the last line of defense between order and absolute chaos.

And the Supervisor in the differently-colored vest – calmly overseeing it all with that “I’ve seen some things” energy.

Every move looks purposeful. Every task feels coordinated. We’re not saying it’s magic—but it’s suspiciously close.

To the crew: you’ve got fans. Keep doing what you’re doing. We’re impressed.

Mascot Watch:
They’re still posted. Still watching.
The Dalmatians remain in formation beneath the tree like they’re guarding ancient secrets.
The owl? Unbothered.
The bunny? Making direct eye contact with passing motorists. Intimidating.
No new additions today, but we get the sense something’s coming. Something… theatrical.

And Clarence?
Still standing. Still judging.
Today, he broke his silence with this simple truth:
“It’s not paved. But neither was the path to greatness.”

Erickson Family Chiropractic:
✅ Still open
✅ Still adjusting
❌ Still technically driveway-less—but Davidson Construction is out here building us a temporary dirt driveway like they’re auditioning for a gritty HGTV spinoff called “Pimp My Access Point.”

🎥 See video: It’s rugged. It’s earthy. It’s the kind of entrance that says, “I own three flannel shirts and fear nothing.”

🔸 Outside Our Office:
Chaos. Dust. Progress.

Crews have been working hard in our parking lot all day like caffeinated concrete warlocks, and cement is currently being poured with the kind of precision that makes you wonder if this is THEIR Super Bowl.
Hard hats on. Spirits up. Hydration? …unclear.
We considered lobbing them some Liquid I.V. packets like hydration-based Mardi Gras beads but figured it might violate a labor law and basic physics.

As of closing time, we still can’t use the driveway off Hwy 11, but we do now have a glorious stretch of sand and dirt that may or may not qualify as a minimalist driveway.
It’s giving Little House on the Prairie, but with more questionable hand signals and a strong “we’re figuring it out as we go” vibe…

🔸 Road Report:
• Hwy 11 / Park Road: Still dirt. Still has that “Hey Siri, set a reminder to call Northland Tire for an alignment” charm.
• Hwy 11 from 89 to the Bridge: Closed. Has been. Always will be? Who knows. Actually, keep reading for the official MNDoT update.
• The Bridge: Closed like a teenager’s bedroom door during family dinner.
• Bridge to Park Road: Two lanes open, center and south. Drive it like it’s hot—but like, respectfully. The mascots are always watching.

📸 Today’s Highlights:
• A skid steer sculpting sand like a caffeinated zen gardener with a vendetta.
• Fresh cement sloshing into place like it’s starring in a slow-motion episode of Extreme Makeover: Infrastructure Edition.
• Cones. So many cones. Standing guard like tiny fluorescent bouncers outside a VIP gravel party.

🔸 Official Project Update (Now With Facts!) 🔸
♦️According to MnDOT’s July 1 update♦️
⏺️ Traffic will remain in its current configuration through this week and next (June 30–July 12).

Today brought rain, gravel, and a heroic mascot rearrangement. If this isn’t peak Roseau summer energy, we don’t know what is. Here’s today’s episode of Roseau Construction Chronicles:

🔸 Update as of 10 PM:
The entire sidewalk in front of our office has officially been removed. No dramatic farewell—just a clean tear-out and an evening breeze where concrete once stood.

🚫 So, here’s your totally official parking guidance:
Option A
👉 Enter via the side street by Earl’s Drive-In.
Simple. Paved. Minimal drama. Basically the “chicken strips basket” of parking choices.

Option B
👉 Take the back alley
👉 Channel your inner trailblazer and roll right across the grass like it’s the Oregon Trail—but with more dust, slightly fewer oxen, and a chiropractor waiting at the end instead of dysentery.
👉 Ignore the mascots’ judgmental stares—they’re just bitter they don’t get to ride shotgun.

🔸 In Front of Our Office:
💧 A quick downpour tried to rain on the construction parade, but construction didn’t flinch. These crews are built different.

🔸 Sidewalks:
On the south side, black dirt landscaping has been added—aka the good stuff.

On the north side, sidewalks are now fully paved all the way to Alive Outdoor Services.
The cement pour was the construction equivalent of a breakaway goal in overtime—clean, fast, and flawless.
The crowd (us) went wild… silently… from behind the office windows.

🔸 Road Report:
➡️Hwy 11/Park Road: Still dirt.
➡️ Hwy 11 to the Bridge: Closed.
➡️ The Bridge: Also closed.
➡️ Bridge to Park Road: Two lanes open.
➡️ Center lane = main character energy.
➡️ South lane = support role.
➡️ North lane = nope.

🔸 Non-Road Construction Rumors Confirmed:
⛽️ Holiday Gas Station is prepping for a major glow-up. Demolition starts July 7. So if you need one last sweaty roller dog, a taquito, or your favorite regret-flavored energy drink—now’s the time. Stock up while you still can.

👨‍🔧Ballard Auto? Gone. Vanished. No goodbye party—just immediate disappearance. RIP.

🔸 Mascot Update:
The weekend storms and sidewalk removal shuffled things around a bit:

🐂 Clarence the Bull made his way over to the puppy—because in every great story, there’s a wise mentor and a confused sidekick just trying to make it through.

🐭 Mickey lost an ear during the storm. He’s still standing, but you can tell he’s been through some things.

🦸‍♂️ To the mystery crew member who took the time to arrange the mascots like a Roseau version of Mount Rushmore—we don’t know who you are, but we hope your shovel never gets stuck and your coffee is always hot. You’re out here doing the Lord’s weird little work, and we salute you.

Tune in for tomorrow’s update: more dirt, more drama, and maybe—just maybe—someone brings back the driveway.
