The final footings for a lot containing a portion of the former Dunes Motel in Albion was removed this past week. This picture was taken south of Runza and behind CarQuest of Albion, where a backhoe removed the concrete foundation of the former site and leveled the ground.
In the midst of the “buzz” over the weekend – the car show, alumni reunion, street dance and more – most, if not all cell phones in the area were also buzzing with extra excitement as severe weather rolled through the area in somewhat spectacular fashion. Severe weather warnings started mid-afternoon, and continued until after 7-8 p.m. as severe weather approached, then split around Albion and Petersburg, and washed through Boone County on all sides, but avoiding the festivities.
