"THE WAY WE WERE" barbra streisand
This coming Saturday Painesville Electric power will be celebrating 125 years of service. Their are many municipal power companies in the country but in Painesville's case they still and can produce electric power on their own.
They will have an open house and you can see how Painesville has produced your electric power for the past 125 years.
I have watched in the last couple of weeks crews putting down mulch, trimming bushes, planting flowers and painting to sprucing up the facility. I believe it would be enlightening and educational to take the tour Saturday.
What you expected me to rain on their parade? There's other times to do that, lets just celebrate their birthday.

Want to collect a Painesville memory cheap and for a good cause?
Talked to the Judge at Rider's Tavern this week she was up in the Inn's attic and found an unopened box from Painesville Printing dated 1953. (Many people in Painesville would love to view the possible treasures in that attic)
In the box were as like new unfolded menu's of Lutz's Inn from 1953.
First it was Rider's than Lutz's and now Riders Inn .
"Six White Pillar's"
The menu contain prices charged at that time.
An example Boston Strip Steak $2.95 that includes salad, potatoes rolls butter as well as a beverage.
Filet of Lake Erie Perch appetizer or soup salad, relishes, potatoes or vegetable, rolls and butter, dessert, beverage for $1.75
You could even get a cup of homemade soup for.20 a bowl was .35
The Inn is selling these menu's for $1.00 all proceeds go to the Inn's scholarship fund.

Let me rain on the parade at the old power plant. The IEA released the article below as we (as in all humanity) set a new record in 2012 for carbon emissions from fossil fuels, 31.6 billion pounds. If you are interested in what this means you can paste the link below in your browser.
I think I would prefer to look to the future and not behind. It amazes me that this town has torn down every bit of history we had; school, hospitals, library, etc and now choose to celebrate a coal fired power plant. The one building that should have been torn down. Maybe they will give you and LED light bulb for attending. Maybe they will give you coupons for solar panels built in Toledo, Ohio or talk about the study we paid for on the wind turbine in Perry....... Are the footers dug yet? And if you're lucky you can see the building your tax dollars paid for a building to put an experimental battery in we don't even have....... Oh yeah pop the cork on that celebration!

Sandy can't wait to hear your comment on the front page story in the paper to day.
"The structure stood on North St. Clair Street near Main Street, in back of what are now the police and fire stations."
Really?? When did our fire and police get moved back to where the were prior to 1960?
Looks to me like someone
1) needs to know Painesville a little better before writing the story and
2) someone needs to check for errors like this.
Maybe not a big deal but it makes you question the whole story's accuracy.
Furthermore, while having people employed is a good thing, is the trade off worthwhile? IOW, the City gets income tax revenue BUT pays a lot of people a fair amount of money in order to not generate much, if any, power? Doesn't sound like a good deal to me.
Nice to see the NH is still shoveling _______
You fill in the blank.
Sorry I don't consider the NH a viable source of information and the article shows their AWESOME reporting skills.
There is so much great innovation being reported on the energy front and not a word ......
We cannot live in the past and expect to live!
Another way to look at this is if they have only run the plant for six months a year I guess that they could claim a 50% decrease in pollution? Painesville speak.
The news article bragged about burning Ohio coal. The coal this plant burns is poison high in sulphur and acids. Congratulations to our power providers they even brag about killing us.
