Old on the outside, new on the inside

Mike and Renee Garrett looked at over 50 houses in the Mount Morris school district before settling on the right one.   They chose a historic 19th century brick home in the country amidst a stand of imposing black walnut and maple trees. After two and a half years in their home on Rt. 408, the Garretts will be moving on and new owners will be able to reap the benefits of all their hard work in restoring and updating the home.

Letter: Be sure to vote in village elections

Local elections will soon be here. Now some probably feel that there is little significance in these elections. Many won’t even bother to find out who is running for local office, let alone plan on voting.
