and Welcome. Well, the bridge that has been closed for the last couple of years has finally been opened. This is the bridge just north of Crowley on Hwy 13 going to Crowley High School and Eunice.

And yes Main Street is a mess. I feel for the businesses that are located there. For most businesses, this is the time of year that make or break even for the year. Although there is still a lot of traffic down town, I do not know if it is benefiting them. I certainly hope that they can weather this storm because in the end it should really turn out very nice. As Rita Johnson with the City of Crowley Main Street Office is saying, Please excuse our mess for it is the name of progress. They have made great progress since these photos were taken. Cement has been laid on the west side of the road. We will have new photos posted soon.

Another logoWe are also going to be listing some area merchants that have a web presence and we invite you to check their sites also. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we will have some if not all of the bugs worked out....

Also, We are currently exploring the possibility of a CrowleyOnline Blog. Hopefully, the response will be large enough as so we can rotate the moderator every 3 - 6 months. This will be a non paying job unless you want to consider the glory as payment - LOL. We are looking for a competent "Local Individual" who would be interested in being the moderator. We do not care about your political affiliation as long you are fair and balance on all sides of the issues. Suggestions are also welcomed from anyone on what they would like to have the Blog cover. You may contact us - Here.
