ReStore makeover featured in winter newsletter

ReStore begins 2016 with a makeover: new paint and, most importantly, a new floor.

That makeover is featured in the winter ReStore newsletter, which is an attachment at the bottom of this story.

The old floor — unattractive and unsafe — was replaced with new multicolor linoleum, textured for additional stability. “It looks nice and it feels good when you walk on it,” said Dana Walters, ReStore director. “We don’t have to trip over the loose tiles.”

Need a snow shovel?

There are plenty of snow shovels remaining at Dollar General due to the lack of snow this winter.

Many Adaites are happy for the milder winter this year after the last two years of arctic blasts and deep, long-lasting snow cover. Temperatures in the 60s are predicted for Sunday. (Monty Siekerman photo)
