Anyone familiar with Griggsville ILL? Is it really the PM capital? I assume their housing is all Trios? Was curious how things are there now and if they are activley managed and flourishing. Thanks.

starling shooter, I was in Griggsville last year and was surprised to see how run down everything was. The main tower in the middle of town had some of the doors missing from some of the houses on top of the tower. And some of the houses along the streets were leaning and a few were under trees. Actually I think I saw more sparrows than martins.

Yeah, it's not really anything exciting to see IMO. I guess it's good intentions, or at least was good intentions, but I'll just take the San Antonio's word on the city being the PM capitol. Griggsville's PM houses just look like slums or something.

What a shame! :cry: The most I've seen was at the PM festival in Finger Tn. If that isn't the capitol, I nominate it to be, here and now.
Looking forward to going again this year. Ya'll Come !
