Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!





It was a beautiful day in the East Village neighborhood yesterday. It was the third week of the Sunday Bazaar. The weather was perfect, clear and crisp with a nice breeze. The vendors were plentiful and varied. There were vendors with jewelry, clothing, art, vintage furnishings. A live band was keeping the atmosphere lively. Food vendors also had varied offerings. It was good to see so many people out enjoying the day and the East Village. Check it out next week!

East High Victory








Friday night was a perfect night for football, even for someone who does not like football! The weather was clear, cool, perfect for all the things that go with high school football; cheerleaders, dance team (i.e. Steppers), marching band, and of course the football team. East took an early lead, then Sioux City North came back. But the last few minutes of the game made it a nailbiter to the last play. Congratulations East High Scarlets! Do it again this Friday for Homecoming.

Consider Battery Sump Pump as Back-up Insurance


Now that we've survived the floods of 2010, give this a thought. Often basements flood because the electricity is off and the sump pump fails to run. It's a common occurrence that electricity goes off during summer storms. There is a simple, reasonable, economic solution. A battery back-up sump pump system. In a normal sump pump pit, the float is set to start the pump and empty the water in the pit. In a back-up system, there is a second pump with the float set a little higher. If the first one fails, the second one kicks on and protects your basement. The back-up pump is powered by a marine battery. It is water-proof, it's continuously being charged while the electricity is on, but works when the electricity is off. It's cheap insurance and assurance. It you need more information give the Eisenlauer Team a phone call.
