Friday, June 11, 2010 - A Short Break from the Rain

Good Friday morning to you and welcome to the end of the workweek on Dawson Road Today.

Even after the big storm and rain we had late Wednesday night, we got a short break from the rain on Thursday and the crews got right back to work. Yesterday we had a great opportunity to focus on some of the construction workers close up because they were working on the manhole and sanitary connections at our location of Plants For All  at 66 Dawson Road. We have a special shout out to Eddie from Bel Air construction.  We put him on the spot by taking his picture and posting it here so that his 9 year old son Tyler can see him in action.

Because most of us don't get to see this kind of work up close, it was interesting to see the close coordination between manpower and machine power.Big power shovels, heavy rollers, front-end loaders, hand shovels, power tools, supervisors and knowledgeable expertise.  Mix all of that in with the coordination required to work in a small space and as an observer you can't help but be impressed. The work can be heavy and dangerous and there's no room for carelessness or mistake.

The weather forecast for today is mostly sunny with a bit of cloud and only a 10% chance of rain. The temperature will be cool.  It is expected that the crew will finish the work in front of Plants For All and will work on the connections in front of Mike the Mover at 62 Dawson Road. 

You may be planning on going to the multicultural Festival this weekend.  It starts tonight and runs through Saturday and Sunday.  Just a reminder that the QB2 Café and Dining restaurant at 86 Dawson Rd, which features Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine, will be one of the featured food vendors at the multicultural festival this year. If you get a chance, drop in to Plants For All today, we have a limited supply of coupons which will get you 10% discounts at their booth #11 at the Festival.

Also remember that most of the businesses in the plaza at 86 Dawson Rd are open Saturday and Sunday.  So with no ongoing construction, it would be a good time to come visit Payless Mattress, Hardsoft Computer, QB2 Café and Dining restaurant and Wellington Ortho & Rehab.  If you need more information check the web page links in the right side bar or give them a call.

Remember to come onto Dawson from Willow Road and treat it as a one-way street. Drive north on the paved transportation lane.

It looks to be a pretty good Friday to do business on Dawson Road.   Come on down!
