"Modern Builders" I remember cub scout camping at Camp Hamilton. It just saddens me to see the "urban" take over the "rural" its been happening and will continue to happen irregardless of who is minding the store. Preservation gets overturned. Zonings get overturned or changed. Development marches on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28263953.post-67669204890669560622015-02-11T11:35:11.348-05:002015-02-11T11:35:11.348-05:00Well, it sort of depends on who's minding the ...Well, it sort of depends on who's minding the store, doesn't it?

In 3-5 years, we won't even recognize this quaint little intersection. Major development. Thruway to connect to fruitville. More buildings, houses. Palmer. Iona probably linking to fruitville. You either adapt and go with the flow. Or move. Nothing, No one stands in the way of "progress".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
