They are called Lincoln County Friends of the Library and the group was created by the Lincoln County Commission in Oct. of '07 and have 5 years to get this issue of a county library tax going. In honor of that, I pulled a story from Freakanomics from last year. The article, <a href="http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/10/if-public-libraries-didnt-exist-could-you-start-one-today/">"If Public Libraries Didn’t Exist, Could You Start One Today?"</a>, explores how funny it is that we have these companies complaining about copyright issues, yet we have this great thing called the library system.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29091476.post-22188453330227065472008-02-28T00:21:00.003-06:002008-02-28T00:24:42.268-06:002nd Saturday Night Act Announced for Lincoln County Fair    The second Saturday night act for this year's Lincoln County Fair has been announced.

The story says that the road would go south from Hwy 47, then west over Hwy 61 and connect to Linns Mill Road on the other side. If you think this sound ridiculous, try going to the <a href="http://www.gmap-pedometer.com">Gmap-Pedometer mashup site</a> and see what a seven-mile road along that route would look like. The city paid $130,000 for someone to come up with this idea. I know my opinion isn't worth $130,000 but, I would think utilizing the new Hwy C overpass would be a better idea for everyone.

If there is a one item that goes hand in hand with living in Troy, it's the MontyBurger. I am quite fond of the $1 hotdogs. They are good and. . .well. . only a dollar. I have also heard that the chicken is good although I haven't tried it. There isn't all that much to write about a BBQ stand, the food really speaks for itself. If you taste for BBQ, go to Monty's stand.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
