Stopped by the Bedlam Corners Store this morning, and the dumpster is filling up and the chute is ready to clear out the charred upstairs. Some new wood has arrive, and work on the roof is going to begin shortly. Two weeks ago, nobody in town thought the store would ever re-open. Now, almost everybody does. The Rev. Debbie Earthrowl of the Hebron United Methodist Church is spearheading the rebuilding and she loves the idea of my keeping track of the restoration progress through photos on the blog. The upstairs of the store is pretty much shot, but the basement is intact and much of the store itself. They’ll do it. Donations can be sent to Maria Mulligan c/o Glens Falls National Bank, Main Street, Salem, N.Y., 12865.
