We went uptown this morning to Art on the Square (always near my birthday if you want to plan a visit during this time some year). Many beautiful items displayed and for sale with more jewelry than usual. The biggest wow was the old Iowa building on the northwest corner from the square. It used to be a bank, someone along the way modernized it with slabs of marble looking facing. In recent years things started falling off and it became more and more of an eyesore. It has been under rehabilitation for more than a year now and at Christmas, before the lighted Christmas parade, it was wrapped in plastic like a giant present and has been out of sight ever since. The scaffolding and wraps came down in the middle of the night - well worth the wait! It is gorgeous! I also was pleased with the new flower planters that can be seen in several locations near the square. If you look closely at the planters, you can see photos of the bandstand.
