GALLERY: Rossland's new downtown revealed

No matter what one's feelings about parallel parking and/or checkout stand democracy, we're sure all right-thinking denizens of the Mountain Kingdom will unite behind the belief that these images, supplied by Mayor Greg Granstrom, are...mighty purty.

When do the parking meters go in? 

Will anyone from council step up and say yes they will be installed or no, there will be no parking meters in Rossland.

So are they going to plant some mature trees on the street? or is that an artist rendition of how our main street might look like in 15 years?
