I would love to see this happen also, but lets be real. When it comes to Molino we are not anywhere near the top of the County Commissions list of priorities. So I will take the I’ll believe it when I see it out look.
As for the Grocery store, I remember when Molino had three or four of them. We also had a shoe store a dress shop, a hardware and a feed store. Those where the days. Then the department stores, the Malls and lets not forget Wal-Mart came and everyone just started going to town to do all their shopping. One be one our stores had to close their doors. I guess that is progress. The closing of our most recent Grocery store, from what I have heard only mind you, was due to pure human greed. If this is true sooner or later somebody’s pocket will need to be filled again and we will have a Grocery Store again.

For those of you who don’t know this Molino Elementary was built there as part FDRs’ WPA projects. The same is true of the Barrineau Park Community Center also a WPA project during the first depression.

A library will be a great asset to the community. Everyone can benefit if they will just support it. Molino has a great history and a museum would be very much appreciated. Other activities will keep people coming and eventually help the news to spread. Let’s hope that the grant will become a reality because there is no way the county is going to support this. I will be first in line to volunteer for work. William, please keep us posted.

Does anyone know if they are taking book, video, computer donations now, or if they will in the future?
