Things are looking dire for keeping East Main St residential. The people who want to turn the block in question into office professional appear to be succeeding. The stop work order on 750 E Main has been lifted and the driveway is going in as I type. One of the neighbors called to let us know they were working on it. It's 7:30 pm. The permit was approved and they are wasting no time.
Bill went to City Hall today and looked at a couple permits. One of the houses that started this entire "battle" has a permit submitted for a medical office. The promise from the other side was that the houses would be kept residential if they could make the other houses office professional.
Out attorney has suggested a temporary restraining order, but the legal bills are already high and the group is just not writing checks.
The mayor and some city council officials are up for reelection this year. We will be working on getting someone else elected. The problem is no one has come forward to run against him.
What a world. I will try and post pictures tomorrow.

This is very sad. I guess the "establishment" just always seems to "win". I fail to understand it, and I don't like it one bit. I suppose the lady that wrote "the Secret" would say you should just "envision the outcome you want". So "see" East Main 5 years from now all only residential...since lawyers didn't work, maybe something a bit more cosmic will do the trick. I'll try to envision it for you too...the power of collective thinking
