This is a marvelous way to assess fines! It allows people to take care of what they owe without garnishing their wages.
It does no good to tell people they owe money they can't pay ..... people make mistakes..we r not in the business of making poor people more poor.... but unfortunately people learn from things that hurt.... we give options for what your lesson will be....
The mayor is reasonable.... we don't take away peoples ability to earn a living either...i.e. if someone has a cdl the charge can be lessened to one that doesn't put points on a license they plead guilty and either pay their fine or do community service to pay off what they owe and there you go....

Of course we r the devils if you get on Facebook

Why aren't we doing anything about the people who go through stop signs or speeding through town
How dare we start a police department
How dare we stop people for running stop signs and blow through town going 60 in a 25
 
Patrick's Hardware in Hampton VA is still in the same building since Christ was a corporal. Been in business since 1892 or something like that. It has That Hardware Store Smell that I knew and loved from childhood.


It smells like Progress. Fixing Shit. Making Stuff Gooder. Gooderer.
We had an old fashioned hardware store like that...Walmart put them out of business....

I remember going in there and telling them to put it on our tab....my dad will pay later
 
Man, modern "architecture" is getting to be as nutless as Soviet bloc buildings from the late 20th century.


Fuck that shit!!!


And that limp dick metal siding on apartment buildings for faux "ambiance."


Need some real ambulance . . . .
Our building g is a 2 story brick building...it will be beautiful once we git it fixed up...it was neglected and had bad people living in it.... prob making meth.... it smelled like cat pea burnt plastic and dead animals when we took possession. It was owned by the odd fellow society

There's an old Odd Fellows building downtown here. I haven't been over that way in a while, so I don't know what has become of it. I'm sure it's renovated and not bulldozed.


There is a church/school in the town I'm working in that it a slice of Colonial Williamsburg. The center building looks like it's styled after the Governor's Palace. It's a styling I strongly support. This area was built on that.

We had the Califon lumber company which was a pretty good hardware store. But the best by far was Finkels in Lambertville. There was stuff my dad would need that he could only get there.

Best place ever.

Rip- I just googled it to see if it was still in operation. I was there maybe three years ago. They closed for good last year. 😢

Here, we had Beckstoffer's and Siewer's, both lumber yards and millwork. Germans, of course. Beckstoffer's bellied up sometime 20 years ago of so - dated from the late 1800s. New apartments were built on the yard, and the old mill building and offices were converted into lofts. Some of the old wood was incorporated into the redo. That was a job I build and didn't get, which made for a very lean 2011. I did get all the cabinets in the apartments and in the apartment building across the street, so that helped me make up for it.


Siewer's is still doing well and has found their niche in the rehabs of the old townhouses in the yuppie sections. They have all of their millwork knives form long ago and can still run trim from 100 years ago that they don't sell any more except by special order.
