Larger versions of the Sevastopol Town Hall plans
mentioned in the January 2008 newsletter are available here (part 1) and here (part 2). (Both are PDF.)
The next GDA board meeting will be at 9AM, Monday, September 8, at the
Hitching Post. Members are welcome. Please contact President Frank Keller
in advance of the meeting if you have a specific item to discuss.
Many members have asked for links to Internet speed tests. Here is
the one I have found most useful, and it is endorsed by Charter. Note that
it is limited by the CPU speed of your computer, so older computers won't
show the maximum thruput.
For local Charter customers, there are
three speed ranges:
3Mb/sec down, 256K up
5Mb/sec down, 512K up
10Mb/sec
down, 1Mb up
The speed you get should match the speed you are paying for within
reasonable variations.
Here are links to the Irish songs mentioned on page 8 of the January 2007 newsletter.
All are sung by Chuck Hansen. Instruments and arrangements are by Laddie Chapman
with a little help from Internet MIDI sources.
All are MP3 files, which
should be easily playable by most computers. WARNING: These files are large (1 to 3MB each)
and a high speed Internet connection is advised.
To check on tax records or assessment numbers, these Door County sites are useful. The Land Records
site is the most current with text data only. For online maps and tax data,
use this site,but do not rely on the tax data as current.
The following are caretakers that service the Glidden area. Most
provide snow plowing and lawn mowing either on request or as part
of a seasonal contract.
This list is provided as a service to members
and does not indicate any endorsement by the Association. If you have been
left off or know of someone who has, please contact us for possible
inclusion.
Wednesday Mens' Coffee at the Hitching Post
every Wednesday, 9AM. Anyone of the male persuasion is invited.
$4 in the kitty gets you an unlimited supply of coffee, donuts and advice.
We found a 1963 Glidden Drive Estates trifold brochure in our archive files
and are making a medium-resolution color scan of it available here (click on picture):

If you currently own property on Glidden Drive in Door County, Wisconsin,
you are eligible to join our Association. You may download the application
form here. Complete instructions are on the form. A full-color brochure
is available here: (PAGE 1
/ PAGE 2 ).
A new web site for Door County map & tax information
is now available,
where you can see satellite images overlayed with property boundary lines
and many other overlay options. You can find the owner of any parcel,
or conversely, find the location of any parcel given the address. It's
pretty impressive, check it out!
A high-speed Internet connection is a must; if you have only
a dialup, be prepared for a lot of waiting, so brew a big pot of coffee.
