Hard to say it's nice to see gas for $2.50/gallon, but it's better than $3 or $4. </p> http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic/the-good-news/page/5#post-10517 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:39:23 +0000 CuriousResident 10517@http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/ <p>Good news, I think, I drove by the "been in-process for a while" town homes on Burlington this morning and was pleasantly surprised at their condition! </p> <p>I'm not sure how recent the changes are, as I don't go that way very often, but the fencing is gone, the foundation sized holes are filled and the landscaping has been done. They look like they have made the moves needed to be able to be occupied! </p>
