DID YOU KNOW
The hall at 1101 Massachusetts Ave went up in 1914, built by the Union veterans who had just moved down here. It was home to Lucius L. Mitchell Post No. 34, one of 34 Grand Army of the Republic posts in Florida, and their successors still meet in that same building.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Last issue: Trail of Terror opened at Peghorn, the city closed its budget without touching savings for the first time in 31 years, and the Split Oak toll road moved into phase two design. Read it here.
Go enjoy your weekend, St. Cloud. We'll be back Thursday.
