Welcome to our blog. Home
e-mail the webmaster with your news about Pomeroy.
It doesn't get any better than this. When you escape from your big city law office, you can telecommute from the gazebo park in downtown Pomeroy thanks to the free wi-fi all over.

Today's submission:
Hi,
At the link below, you can see three photos I shot last year of Pomeroy.
I own copyright to the pictures but you may certainly use them for the
DownTownPomeroy.com Website.

The renaissance in Downtown Pomeroy continues. Click on the picture below for a flash video sample of the jam session at The Pomeroy Artisans' Gallery from Saturday January 12, 2008.
"What's with all the cars on Main Street?" I'm often asked. Sometimes it's The College of Leonard. 2007 brought in 61 new students who created almost 500 necklaces plus several other fused glass items. The first week of 2008 brought in 9 more new students. Considering that Harvard matriculated only 9 students in its entire first year, we're doing quite well.
On Thursday mornings it's coffee at The Hungry Horse Coffee Shop that brings in the crowds. In the front part of The Pomeroy Artisans' Gallery you can get latte, cappuccino and Pomeroy Blend Coffee with a biscotti.

Volunteerism is one of the strengths of Pomeroy. Here are a few shots of Denny Ehn and Paul Johnson laying paver bricks at the site of the new cemetery directory.
