CREATE A NEW TOPICUnfair Water Rates!
Posts: 12 Category: Sistersville Happenings
I currently live outside of the city limits, but when I lived in town AND opened up my small business, my water bill about BROKE my family... and it is contaminated and unsafe to drink, plus it smells... what is up with getting a contamination letter 6 months after the fact, as well as the water being shut off with no prior notice to the household families and businesses? I recently had to move my business to another city because I would rather have lower prices on my services to the community, with unpredictable water rates climbing, i have found that it is much easier to run my business elsewhere due to the simple fact that my rent at the new location is half the price as the Sistersville water bill. Sure the new little park behind the Post Office is pretty for the eye, but don't you think that money couldve been used to make an attempt to modernize the water system? To receive a grant, some attempt has to be made first. But, the city sure is pretty, huh... view post
Remember when movies were good?
Posts: 11 Category: Sistersville Happenings
I recently had the misfortune to watch Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. To sum it up in one word, this movie was CRAP. I am by no means a hug fan of the first three movies but I did like them. This movie was no where near those first three. I also watched the remake of the classic and beloved The Day The Earth Stood Still. Again CRAP! I could really go into a review detailing the differences of the the original to the remake but I won't do that here. If you have seen the original and the remake you know what I'm talking about. Anybody else disappointed by a remake or a recent movie that was hyped up and was a huge let down? view post

I vividly recall my mother waking me up and telling me to come to the front bedroom window. What I saw horrified a wide-eyed 10 year old boy. I was stunned at the sight of flames in downtown Sistersville. My mother said to come down and get dressed. Next thing I recall, my dad was coming through the front door saying the fire was in the lower block of downtown. By this time, I was dressed and going out the door with mom, dad, and my grandmother. We just got across the street when a neighbor asked my dad what was on fire. Dad said "it's the old Opra House." I looked at my mother and asked "Opra House?" Mom said, "Starcher's Furnature." By the time we got near the City building looking south, we saw nothing but flames from GC Murphy south to Starchers. When daylight finally came, the sight of burned out buildings with nothing but facades was all that remained. The Sistersville I recall growing up changed forever the wee hours of the morning of 1 view post

Is Sistersville 'ON TRAC'?
Posts: 83 Category: Sistersville Happenings
I'm very anxious to see whether or not people in the community whole-heartedly support Tyler Revitalization's movement to revive Tyler County and more specifically, Sistersville. I am sure I am not the only one who can remember when Sistersville was the place to be. I think more people should come out to support the movement. The Governor and the First Lady are behind us, so why not. WEhat do YOU think? view post

Next week - Monday through Thursday we will be coming door to door with a survey of about 10 questions. Since it is a small group of "surveyors", we will not be able to visit all 800+ homes. It will be a sampling. The survey should take about 10 minutes. We are seeking constructive responses. If you have other comments or concerns, please attend our public meetings and bring up these issues. The results of the survey will be discussed at our May 19th meeting. If no one comes to your residence and you wish to respond to the questionnaire, you can take it on line on our website - tyleralivedotcom. view post
