Behind the Headlines

I’ve always thought that one of the perks of this job is the opportunity to see things first and tell about them first. I got a chance to do that again this week.

In a story that ran in Monday’s Evening News, I toured Dundee’s new village hall. It’s an impressive structure. The spacious brick hall is a big step up from the space the village uses now.

Village manager Pat Burtch showed me through the building last week and pointed out some of the best features, including the offices that overlook the River Raisin. Construction crews were still there putting on the finishing touches.
I was by no means the first to get a walk through the new building, but I’m sure that the pictures and descriptions we reported were the first that many have seen. That’s really the fun part. A reader in Bedford or Newport may have no opportunity to see it otherwise.
