Well how about we all make some time and start cleaning this place up???? I am sure the city will have no problem.. We are builders and believe it or not we come from a long line of watch and clock makers no problem to repair the clock.. And above all no charge.. WE need to get together and do something.. I absolutely adore this area. Who is willling to help????
