Across Quotes
We're opening the second site because we found, when we talked to citizens in the last election, (the new location) was very convenient for people on (the south) side of Greenville.

Against Quotes
It is indeed, a fearful place. The torrent, swollen by the melting snow, plunges into a tremendous abyss, from which the spray rolls up like the smoke from a burning house. The shaft into which the river hurls itself is a immense chasm, lined by glistening coal-black rock, and narrowing into a creaming, boiling pit of incalculable depth, which brims over and shoots the stream onward over its jagged lip. The long sweep of green water roaring forever down, and the thick flickering curtain of spray hissing forever upward, turn a man giddy with their constant whirl and clamor. We stood near the edge peering down at the gleam of the breaking water far below us against the black rocks, and listening to the half-human shout which cam booming up with the spray out of the abyss.

Across Quotes
Later on that evening, our daughter and son-in-law called back and said, 'We don't know what kind of pull you have, but we saw a helicopter come straight across the river to this house and shine lights inside the house,' ...

Well, Chicago's a great town; what can I say? It has a lot of diversity. You can find so many different kinds of people there. It breeds a certain self-confidence and a willingness to work hard for what you want. I don't know, maybe they put something in the water -- the river is green.

Brought Quotes
We're convinced it's not a human-induced condition but a natural condition brought on by wetlands and ground water. We'll recommend a re-classification of that stretch of the river so that it won't be encroached upon by human activity. It could not support a wastewater treatment plant, for example.
