973 Days Later, Terra Firma! What began as a gargantuan task, moving a four-family craftsman bungalow 1-mile down Sunset Blvd., turned out to be the easy part. In one quick early morning drive the building was on its new site then things became difficult and the house sat…but today we can report that home owner Kevin Kuzma is a happy camper–all the wood and steel that had held the building 3-feet off the ground has been removed and the Kevin and his house are sitting pretty! With a significant amount of work already complete Kevin & Dari should be moving in before we know it…lets all keep our fingers crossed. Congratulations Kevin!

According to local Michael O’Brien: “That’s right, Pioneer Market, our local community institution, is closing. In its place will be a Walgreen’s in the southern (eastern?) half of the building, and an unidentified “retail space” in the other half. Building permits are in the process of being approved.”
