Dam(n)

There is a river behind our shop....did you remember that? Did you even know that? Just look out the back door during your next visit to the shop..

 Mayville Main street runs parallel with the Rock River for a good distance.  Visitors entering our town from the south are treated to a nice view of the mighty Rock as the river also runs parallel to Hwy 67.  Some of our customers who enter town from a different direction are surprised to find the river in Loose Ends "backyard".  We have the river, a nice sized muncipal parking lot, a foot bridge, a boat launch, and a dam. 

The dam is being renovated this summer.  In order to work on the dam, it was opened and almost all of the water drained away.  The river bed is exposed, leaving a shallow muddy canyon decorating our "backyard"... The recent dry and hot weather has encouraged a green carpet to grow on the riverbed.  It looks strange, but kinda pretty in post-apocalyptic way...

Another effect of the dam(n) construction is the diminished size of the parking lot. Large construction equipment occupies more than half of the parking stalls...  Luckily it is a large parking lot.  And we have lots of easy angle parking in the front on Main street. 

With lots of easy parking you have no excuse not to stop by this week, we have air conditioning...:)
