The Streets And Sidewalks Of Hermann - Day Three Of A Five Day Engineering Survey

Published by Jimmy Oldsun, NDRIRSRWRAFTC & Editor

This investigative report is continued from our Monday, 5/10 and Tuesday, 5/11 reports.  We actually conducted this third day of surveying on Wednesday, 5/12, but we must have gotten pre-occupied with something else and didn't publish the results on the same day.  So presented here today is what we found on our third day of walking the streets and sidewalks of Hermann.

After the third day, we were forced to suspend our street and sidewalk survey due to heavy rain, some flooding of streets during the past couple weeks and to be honest some much needed R&R.   We are resuming our survey and more reports will follow.

Yes, I know that we could have hidden this report from the eyes of FREE Subscribers and reserved the report for the eyes of our PREMIUM Subscribers only. We could have done that to "bait" our FREE Subscribers into upgrading their memberships. But we're just not sneaky enough and under-handed enough to pull something like that. Therefore, all five (5) reports (or possibly more) in this series of reports will be available to everyone, even our lowly cheapskate FREE Subscribers who have not yet upgraded their memberships.

On my third day of walking (Wednesday, 5/12), I found the following street and sidewalk conditions:

  1. 1st Street heading west from Gutenberg Street to Schiller Street - Sidewalks on both sides of street in excellent conditon.  Asphaltic street surface in fair condition. Street surface well sealed.
  2. 1st Street heading west from Schiller Street to Market Street - Sidewalks on both sides of street in good condition.  Narrow sidewalk on south side in one spot.  South sidewalks cracked and busted in a few spots but surface has remained relatively even. Asphaltic street surface is patched, cracked and alligatored in a few spots, but still in relatively good condition
  3. 1st Street walking west from Market Street to Mozart Street - Sidewalk exists only on south side of street and it is not in good condition.  Cracked in a few spots.  Asphaltic street surface is patched and alligatored.
  4. Mozart Street walking south from 1st Street to 2nd Street - No sidewalks.  Asphaltic street surface is patched and alligatored.
  5. Mozart Street walking south from 2nd Street to 3rd Street - No sidewalks. Asphaltic street surface is patched and alligatored.
  6. Mozart Street walking south from 3rd Street to 4th Street - No sidewalks. Asphaltic street surface is patched and alligatored.
More street and sidewalk survey results to follow.

BREAKING NEWS - GCCS Schedules Meeting For Thursday Evening

Published by Jimmy Oldsun, NDRIRSRWRAFTC & Editor


Hermann Hearsay learned at 1 p.m. today that the GCCS (Gasconade County Courthouse Society) is calling a meeting at the Gasconade County Courthouse for this Thursday evening, 5/27.  It was unclear when we learned about it what time the meeting would start, and it was unclear whether this would be a meeting of the Board of Directors or a meeting of the General Membership.  Our source was also unclear who called the meeting.  We understand that Jon Held, former Vice-President and acting President had resigned his position on the Board of Directors some time ago, so we presume that Mr. Held has not called the meeting.  This information was provided to us by one of our sources.  He prefers to remain anonymous.

We called one of Hermann Hearsay's Premium Subscribers who also happens to be a member of the GCCS to see what he might know about the meeting.  Dick Schaefer told us around 2:30 p.m. this afternoon that he had not received notification of the meeting either by cell phone or by email.  As a member, Mr. Schaefer provided his contact information last year when he became a member.

We also attempted to contact Glenn Warnebold, GCCS Treasurer.  We left a message at Oak Glenn Winery, but Glenn has not returned our call as of this report.  We then contacted Sharon Meyer, GCCS Secretary.  Sharon confirmed to us that there will in fact be a Board of Directors meeting at 7 p.m. this Thursday.  The meeting will be conducted in the 2nd floor courtroom and all members are welcome to attend.  Agenda topics are the filling of two vacancies on the board and planning for the 2010 General Membership Meeting.  Sharon also confirmed to us that this will be the first meeting of the GCCS since August of 2009.

Hermann Hearsay will be in attendance Thursday night and will report the outcomes of the meeting on Friday.

UPDATE!  We appreciate that Glenn called back at 7:30 p.m. this evening and confirmed that the meeting is a GCCS Board of Directors meeting at 7 p.m. in the Gasconade County Courthouse.  He confirmed that GCCS members and members of the media are not prohibited from attending the meeting.
