not far from the traffic lights.

Workers at The Common Place Restaurant in Glenville began their flood clean-up chores shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday.

Go Mart, Pizza Hut and most other downtown businesses were forced to delay clean-up, as more than two feet of water remained under the town's traffic light and beyond.

News that floodwaters were retreating brought out many people to see in person, as well as drawing a number of volunteers to help.
