It was Christmas Eve last Wednesday and 22 walkers from our Piedmont Recreation Department’s Walking on Wednesday group with one K-9 best friend were at the Exedra at our regular time. We claim it never rains on Wednesday mornings in Piedmont and this morning we were right again. It had rained heavily with strong winds during the night, but there were just clouds and plenty of sunshine for our walk.   We were mindful of the services that the Piedmont Police and Fire Departmen

Our Piedmont Recreation Department’s Walking on Wednesdays group had a once in forever opportunity last Wednesday. Piedmont Police Chief Frederick Shavies had invited us to come for a tour of the new Piedmont Police dispatch center. This was a first and last chance to see the center because after it goes operational it will be closed to the public. We were not going to miss it. Over 60 of us with at least five K-9 best friends were at the Exedra and Chief Shavies was too.
