Community steps up the pace with increasing population ' housing and business growth B reathing heavily, the runner begins the last length of the race. When the end comes into sight, he calls upon reserved energy and picks up speed. With lengthened stride, he nears the finish line . . . Valparaiso, too, is gaining speed. Al- though it has managed to retain its small-town charm, Valpo has emerged from a lazy hicksville to an active city of 22,000 residents. Figures from the 1980 census marked this as an increase in population of 10 percent over the past decade. With the stream of new people have come residential and commercial ex- pansion. Development has been espe- cially evident in the northern section of town where apartment complexes and new businesses have recently lo- cated. Increased traffic to the area made major construction work neces- sary at the intersection of Calumet Avenue, Roosevelt Road and Vale Park Road. After months of rebuilding, the project resulted in wider streets and an improved drainage system. While encouraging growth In the North, local merchants also strived to sustain interest in the downtown area. To this end, the new tradition of a fall Popcorn Festival was continued. The second ceiebration, held Saturday, September 6, drew an estimated 55,000 visitors, an increase of 20,000 over first-year figures. Although life in Valparaiso may not exactly be life in the fast lane, we ' re steadily picking up the pace. — Sara Thompson At county toot of Portor County, Valparalto’t courthouM acts at govommont contor for both tho city and th« county.
