They're constructing a new building in town. I'm sure I've mentioned it.
It's not anything that exciting, if we were in say, California, people would drive by on their busy interstate and say "oh look, another two story mini mall" and not think another thought of it. Or, they'd drive by and not even notice it's existence.
But here on this remote island of 6,000 people, where the biggest building in 500 miles is our local Walmart (and not even a Super Walmart), this building in the center of town is a big deal. It's big news around here.
The Boy Scouts have toured this construction property multiple times (we can't remember if it's 3 or four) since they broke ground last spring. The project manager is a huge Boy Scout fan and is always inviting them to come at various phases of construction.
The tour today showed a lot of the inner infrastructure, lighting and the storefronts and office shapes really coming together. Camden declared that he "really cannot read blueprints at ALL", but he did manage to point out to me tonight where the new bakery and bookstore are going to be.
We'll probably get one more tour before the July grand opening.
