There is very little from bond to union to Hamilton to hicks. Just a small, expensive place on Court. I am happy and can't wait for not to open.

And it's not a bank, drugstore, nail salon.

Similarly, I would like to know why there are still No Parking signs in front of the funeral parlor on Sackett closed months ago. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-24029176522453173452017-05-03T06:58:18.447-04:002017-05-03T06:58:18.447-04:00The building is characterless and ugly.

Perhaps cat advocates can do a trap and release on the site. As sure as building resumes most likely they will scatter. Believe it or not the cats keep the rats down without, obviously, using poison. I have some beautiful old tiles salvaged from this place when the buildings first went down. Such a bunch of baffoons. This building could be so much more than an ugly warehouse for spin classes.

I find the trailer to be a safety risk. It relegates pedestrians to walking on the slippery metal grate and severely limits visibility. Also, there seem to be stray cats residing on the site and I often find them scurrying about in the early morning.

That's a pretty big footprint to exclude residential space on upper stories at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
