Door Stopper

The Quincy City Council on Monday awarded a $25,708 contract to Doors-N-More for 17 new doors, frames and locks at the wastewater treatment facility. The action was taken despite the objections of Alderman Mike Rein, R-5, who said the cost “seems excessive to me.”

Quincy Fire obtained a picture of the doors in question and asks Mr. Rein, "whats the problem?"

No Class

Part 1:

Coach Bill Belichick left the field before the final second ticked off the clock.

Part 2:

Tom Brady and Randy Moss pulled out of the Pro Bowl on Monday, a day after the New England Patriots were beaten in the Super Bowl.

What roll models.

Three Men Enter, One Man Leave

The Clock stops.

Firegate is (finally) over.

As much as I hate to see anyone lose there job, the $$'s spent on this was unacceptable.

Breaking News....

Palmer told us there is no definite timetable for when a decision will be made.

...the clock keeps on ticking.

Define " Future"

When asked how long it will take for a decision, Palmer said, "Hopefully within the near future."


The three firefighters, all men, will be paid more than $50,000 combined while on administrative leave before the investigation is finished.

Good Job RH on keeping us informed.

Tale of Two Cities

Hannibal gets a $50 Million Dollar expansion of a hometown industry.







Quincy gets a Buffalo Wild Wings.

Stone Age Wing Ding

Was toying with the idea of entering the Hannibal Wing Ding, but after reading the rules, I have to say WTF?

First of all the rules weren't posted on their web site until about 2 weeks ago. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to let them out.

Second, NO ELECTRIC ? What the Hell is with this? What is this some kind of science experiment? How is someone gonna keep 40 lbs of wings at the required temperature of 165 degrees?

Hoping Rob at the OLCC can scrape up the dirt from the rodeo and come up with some kind of modern version of this. (with electric)

Makes You Wonder...

What kind of a POS would intentionally pump 29 BB's into a poor defenseless animal is beyond me.

My only wish for this person would to be caught, jailed and the same treatment used on them.

If you have any information, you're asked to call the Quincy Regional Crimestoppers Hotline at 228-4474.

There is a reward available.

Handy Piece of Equipment

We have one of these at work. If there's every a problem, just load up the spreader and drive around the building. This way everyone get a little blame.

Truck and plow also come in handy during snow storms.

L is for.............

Loser.

Hummmmm......

From Mondays City Council Meeting:
