In anticipation of the rodeo this weekend Cloverdale is getting spruced up. Someone at City Hall has sent the crews out. Too bad it only happens once a year.
The first thing I saw last week was a line painter repainting the yellow lines down the centre of the streets.
On Monday morning at 7:30 I ran into a street cleaner on 57 Avenue and 176A Street. At 10:30 Monday night I saw the street cleaner again when I had to run out on a quick errand. I don't know if its the same street cleaner or not, but it was the same truck, or at least a truck that looked exactly like the one I saw 15 hours earlier!
Today the landscapers/gardeners are out in force, especially around the Cloverdale Bypass and 58 Avenue area. Two tractors with lawn mower attachments and huge arms on them are cutting the grass around the United Church and across the street that huge lawn area got cut and there are a crew of people handling weed eaters in this general area.
On another note the carnival folks have started setting up the midway rides. I'm wondering if the rides will be open for thrill seekers this Thursday night following the bed races. When I was a teenager they didn't have the bed races back then, but the carnival midway always opened up the night before so the locals could come out and enjoy the rides before the weekend crowds hit.
