Minnehaha Creek flooded and destroyed over 50 cars carrying many of them into the Potomac. Most of the cars belonged to people attending the dance in the Spanish Ballroom who had no idea their ride home was already down river. It took ages to rebuild the lot and channel the creek in its present form.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-88555063682467995192016-05-04T11:13:28.187-07:002016-05-04T11:13:28.187-07:00@9:27- Assuming Dyer noticed something ?

Growing up here I have seen first hand the traffic at the circle that is no less than 500 feet from this site get backed up. I guess the addition of 19 or so townhouses won't add THAT much more traffic. My main concern is the road quality (as every year it deteriorates from flooding) versus building some new homes. Just the other day I was merging from MacArthur onto Goldsboro and I hit some pretty nasty potholes. In regards to Wesbard...the size of the main roads around there can handle that kind of increase in traffic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-42985713209875669052016-05-04T08:40:56.614-07:002016-05-04T08:40:56.614-07:00Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman!Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-92097610483899744822016-05-04T08:09:34.256-07:002016-05-04T08:09:34.256-07:007:31AM - Who do you think you are?

This is not something they do just to appear a developer of any property. As for the traffic concerns, you are now showing the NIMBY attitude expressed by your brethren in Westbard. Eventually a property owner desires to express is given right to either pass on land or improve it without the express written or unwritten consent of the NIMBY group. Get over yourself.

All I have to say is that area floods very quickly during bad storms. I think redevelopment of that property would be a mistake due to the increase in traffic and potential flood concerns. The crumbling hillside of houses above that creek running parallel on Goldsboro should be fixed before any discussion about redevelopment of the vacant property. I am actually quite surprised an individual didn't snatch up that property to remodel or construct a new home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-58121232588830812922016-05-04T07:09:59.233-07:002016-05-04T07:09:59.233-07:00A famous person lived here once, we must never for...<b>A famous person lived here once, we must never forget this!</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-14418452875816956852016-05-04T07:04:48.497-07:002016-05-04T07:04:48.497-07:00Old does not equal historic.Old does not equal historic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
