One of the windows illuminates the south stairway and one the north stairway.  We abandon the diamond window idea.

Wonderful, pleased to announce a new sign layout in time for the Madrid Chamber of Commerce After 5 event!   To be held at the Mary Helms Farm in nine days.  With my keep my money in town concept we went to Mid National Graphics for the business.  Have a look and lodge objections/support/proposed changes quickly; we need to roll the presses soon!

Thanks, happy viewing.  The sign's dimensions will be available later here and whether it is visible to north and southbound traffic.
