Over FOUR MILLION Hits in 2011

Thanks to everybody who made this possible. We achieved over 4,000,000 hits this year.

Looking back to 2007 we had 200,000 hits for the year and it grew a bit in the following years but this year exploded!

Thanks again and if you’d like to see the stats, click HERE.

Happy New Year.

Photos: Destruction of The Wes Smith House

Following are some photos of the destruction (demolition sounds too harsh) of the historical Wes Smith house, beginning to end.

While photographing over time, I was fortunate enough to meet Dave Smith, Wes Smith’s son.  We had a great conversation.  We feel that the conversation was more of a private meeting, so that said, we will not go into details of the why’s and who’s of reasons for the house being torn down.  We just feel it was a confidential discussion and would feel it’s a breech of trust to post the information.

It is a sad day indeed and the full size photos have already been transferred to the Index Historical Society’s hands.

The Index Wall News Paper

The Index Wall (formerly the Index Eagle)  folks have published their first News Paper and it’s out now for FREE.  Soon you’ll be able to subscribe to the digital Index Wall for a small charge which is yet undetermined or you can buy it where it’s sold, for a small charge to cover their costs.

They have given us permission to publish their first Index Wall right here on IndexWa.org.  You’ll need a PDF reader to view it.

Photos: Index Cookie Exchange 12.10.11

The Town of Index Annual Cookie Exchange took place yesterday at 2:00pm.  I did not have the “umph” or get up and go (my get up and go, got up and went) to attend.  It was my wife’s assignment to snap a few real quick photos.

Below are snapshots from the Cookie Exchange.  Thanks to everybody for sharing with me, the cookie monster (I’ve heard David Meier does a good job eating cookies too).

More on the Wes Smith House

We have not seen a whole lot of motion at the Wes Smith house lately but this morning we noticed that the house has been pretty much gutted.

Again, we’ll try to stay on top of this story to supply photos as it comes down.

Stay tuned.

the Town Wall

I went to a meeting this morning and joined the folks working on The Town Wall (formerly ©The Index Eagle), the latest developing SERIOUS newsletter from and for the Town of Index.

These folks are serious and all things appear to be ALMOST in place. The first issue is a FREE issue and should be available around the 15th of December, 2011.

As soon as things are in place, we at IndexWa.org have volunteered some space for the Index Wall and we will be set up for paying subscribers to receive the newspaper via email in PDF format and full color.

Price is as of yet undetermined but knowing how these folks are working so far, it won’t cost an arm and a leg and will be outsanding information, just like the old Index Eagle was informative.

There’s lot’s of whoopty doo and excitement for this to get off the ground.

Stay tuned.
