| Ted Speculation: It seems the last three events at the CHS gym have all been via different entrances into the new commons/gyms. The best route to the band concert Monday was walking around the south (outside) end of the building with the construction fencing just removed Monday. The new parking on the south end by the walk-way / freshman center won't be asphalted until later this week (weather permitting). More roadway from near the baseball field was asphalted last week so there is more new parking / smoother ride on the north side but I don't know which commons entrances will be open? Brewer construction said they will be done "with everything" by the end of the year (includind the new chorus and media rooms ... in the former commons). ... I'll update if I get official word on how to get to basketball and wrestling this week. -- Ted 9pm 12/14/2015 |
