A Visit to Downtown

Normally, Grandma writes a wonderful blog, but I would like to do it, too! Yesterday, Saturday, we decided to drive down Main Street to see how the reconstruction was coming. Before we got more than a couple of blocks south of the street we saw groups of children and their parents marching on sidewalks to support the blind. The children were all wearing yellow-green tee-shirts and holding signs as they walked. It is wonderful that they want to support charities, and this was not the only march like this we have seen in Concord. The police and helpful leaders made sure that everyone was following the rules and the march was very orderly, and the children appeared to be having a good time. I think it is wonderful that there are activities like this in our town. We were able to get onto Main Street, the right side of the street, and we marveled at the progress of the construction work. Decorative street lights are all up. There are benches to sit on in front of the stores, and it seemed that the stores were sprucing up their displays. It is wonderful that Concord is making the downtown a better place to be. I am sure that Main Street will have a new and better feel because of the work they are doing. Good work, Concord!
