Cash AND Cars in Carlisle

Great news of a an exciting venture between
Carlisle Events and Orrstown Bank.

A new Orrstown Branch opened today at the Carlisle Fairgrounds to assist visitors at the big auto shows. Now when you just have to have that special Bugatti, Ferrari or Corvette on the spot, Orrstown will be there to make your dream a reality! We will tell all our guests!

We can vouch for Orrstown because they have been a major supporter of Carlisle House projects and purchases!

Congratulations to all!

How we spoil the women in our life...

So far, Rose has gotten a shiny new bathroom with a soaking tub, jetted shower, and double vanity, and Molly is getting a bigger bathroom with a 5-foot shower with an Aquatower, and a new vanity and sink.

Not to be outdone, Jessie demanded a new shower also. But being the little minx that she is, her shower had to be special, so it has 10 pulsating back-jets, 6 body jets and the regular shower as well!

I think it is so pretty we should install it right here in the hall, but Mary said that wasn't a good idea. What do you think?

"Loo"k and see what we've done!

Yes folks, the Lonely Loo is lonely no more!

With a new vvaanniittyy (yes, it is a DOUBLE vanity!) and a soaking tub with an Aquatower shower unit, LL has taken on a new lease of life and is now proud to be a part of our most spectacular bathroom to date! Lonely is specially fond of the new body jets which he is certain his close friend Helen will want to experience. (Close? Well, we won't go into that here....).

Lonely and Rose are looking forward to making lots of new friends over the next few years, but little do they know that just above them, Molly has been plotting to go one better than Rose! Watch this space for more news, but just to keep you interested...

YES! IT'S LONELY LOO TOO! er, I mean TWO!!! Is it a coincidence that LL2 is almost directly over LL? Well, yes, but keep watching anyway as the plot thickens!

(At this point I was going to put in an erudite quotation about a Rose. Unfortunately..... the first one i found was from Eleanor Roosevelt and the Rose that was named after her. When I stop laughing I'll blog some more!)

Carlisle Road Diet Here!!

Carlisle goes on a diet...a Road Diet! Yippee!

A “road diet” involves reducing the number of lanes in a road. In the case of Carlisle, it involves reducing High and Hanover Streets from 4 lanes to 3. Instead of two travel lanes in each direction, under a road diet we will have one travel lane in each direction, plus a dedicated lane in the center for left turns. The main reasons road diets are implemented are to “calm” traffic by reducing speeds, and to increase safety for motorists as well as other forms of transportation (walking, bicycling).

The line eraser trucks came yesterday to remove old and paint new lines. We now have the 3 lanes and the new digital video signal controls will be activated soon. Other segments of the traffic calming and people friendly plan include better and shorter crosswalks, bicycle lanes and signage on the interstates directing trucks around town! We can hear the "quiet" already and are thrilled!

Thanks Borough of Carlisle and Penn DOT!
