However, this is an area where the city should be a bit more proactive.<br /><br />I know you are not a big fan of historic districts, but I think this is one area where some sort of protection is appropriate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-68435729676191311722009-07-06T12:25:31.339-04:002009-07-06T12:25:31.339-04:00Unfortunate.
