Rebuilding Broadway

By By Kyle Meddles, Richwood Gazette 

After the tornado that ravaged Broadway earlier this year, restoration efforts are in full swing. Pictured above: Lowe’s employees came out to help refurbish the playground at the baseball fields on the morning of Oct. 11. Also pictured: before and after photos of the damages to the cemetery, including the destroyed flagpole that has now been restored after a generous donation from locals Bill and Linda Squeo.
