This is a screenshot sent to this blog that is a public photo, note the little globe.
It’s a crazy tale, isn’t it?
First of all there’s the whole Main Line of it all and should we just call it for what people think it is? Stealing from customers to keep up with the Joneses in the 19035 ?
And then there’s the thing that this is a man who’s just been convicted of worse but similar to what his father did years ago and what’s up with that? If you figure this man is 66 years old, he was old enough in the mid 70s, etc. to comprehend what his father did, which undoubtedly had a horrible effect on his own family growing up, right? Should we just say apparently not since this is like a twisted repeating pattern of life?
What also amuses me about this case is anytime anyone has tried to post any of the articles in any Gladwyne Pennsylvania social media groups since this saga started, the posts get deleted?
Nothing to see here, can’t interrupt life in one of the towns of the Magic Kingdom known as Lower Merion.
It’s always interesting sociologically how people react to these stories. You know they’re all whispering behind their hands, but it’s like they don’t want to admit in public it happened. Wonder what the boys are saying at Squires Golf Club in Ambler or wherever it is?
Honestly, I don’t feel sorry for the man. I go back to the fact he’s 66 years old. He’s old enough to remember how what his father Melvyn Mason did to at least his family must have felt right?
Newspaper archives contain the sins of the father and the Prudential Bache scandals of the 1970s don’t they?
So did Scott Mason have to choose this path he will now forever be remembered for? I mean adults are suppose to know the difference between right and wrong, right? After all it’s what you teach your kids or are supposed to/try to, right?
So supposedly Scott Mason gets sentenced in May. Wonder what his wife knows? And you have to wonder what happens to the rest of his immediate and extended family because of his actions including his father? And what will happen to the people he stole from?
I truly feel sorry for his kids (their worlds must be so blown up, he’s their dad) as well as obviously sorry for his victims.
I also feel sorry for the charitable institutions and any nonprofits affected by his actions and what about his alma mater Hobart William Smith College in Geneva, New York? And if he is a slumlord landlord up there, what happens to the students who have rented properties from him? Do they stay in their places and the bank just takes over or what happens?
So many questions….still. So much squandered by this man who has had so many legit opportunities and is this the legacy he will leave his kids and grandchildren? And you have to wonder if before any of this happened if his kids even knew what his father had gotten up to when he was a kid? This is like a real life NetFlix series it’s so messed up.
I will begin to end this with it’s astounding. He took a sledgehammer to somany lives by his actions, including his own. In fact, greed is not good. Did Scott Mason think he was Gordon Gekko or something?
And to the 19035? Y’all were better before the nouveau invasion. The entire Main Line was.
Hopefully people will learn from this, but our society seems so lost and divided, I just don’t know. Until then, orange is the new Main Line black, right?
Laura Smith, Vice Chair of the Towamencin Board of Supervisors in Montgomery County, PA is a rather unfortunate woman who thinks making the Nazi salute on TikTok is funny.
Well now she is an internet star ⭐️
Only her TikTok account laurasmith6036 has seemingly disappeared?
Gosh was it something she said?
Do the Jewish members of the Montgomery County Republican Party approve of this behavior? Do the rest of the Towamencin Board of Supervisors find her behavior acceptable?
Here’s how you can ask them:
I think Laura Smith should take her pathetic nasty ass off of that board and resign, don’t you? I doubt she will but it’s a nice thought.
I don’t understand why anyone with a brain would think that it’s okay to give a mock Nazi salute. I just don’t.
This is not OK.
The media is starting to wake up to this new TikTok star…
What I don’t understand about people like Laura Smith is her candidate of choice was duly elected President of the United States. Why isn’t she happy? Why does she do something so horrible?
She’s now just another elected official who has betrayed the public trust. She is also obviously lacking a moral compass. Hell she should run for Congress and go sit next to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I received a rather amusing email yesterday. It was from someone named Quentin Mills from the “Student Loan Debt Department.”
I mean wow talk about a blast from the past, right? I’m 60. I haven’t had student loans in like 30 years! It’s like getting carded in a bar, right?
So I decided to call up my new friend Quinton.
My next new friend was named Christian. He wasn’t particularly articulate and you could tell he was slouching on the phone desk.
So since Christian didn’t seem to want to hook up with a 60 year old, I decided to call back! This time I got Evan. He was much nicer, but he couldn’t wait to get me off the phone.
Now, these are scams. this one was at least rather amusing as well as preposterous. However there’s also another scam roaming around Chester County in particular and it’s people calling you up claiming they are calling from the Chester County Sheriff’s Department and you missed jury duty. Just hang up, unless of course you want to ask them if they’re going to give you a ride home from bail processing after they arrest you.
I have a prediction that things like this are going to become more prevalent over the next four years and it’s just kind of the world we live in.
But Quentin Mills, wherever you are, honey I did try to call you like you asked…. I’m sorry if I wasn’t your target audience, and that I called your little children back and had a little fun.
Malvern Borough King St – other side from Flying Pig – a lot has been empty for a few years, and now construction fencing is up and it looks like foundation digging?
It used to be before it was an empty lot, a row of buildings. The buildings at the time were historic to the borough, but they were in such bad shape. They had to come down. I do know that much because I remember when they were torn down, but then at one point pre-COVID it was a giant apartment tower thing proposed and then that idea went nowhere, but did it really?
So someone tells me that there’s another kind of apartment thing in the works. Shops below and like 30 apartments above, so it’s another one of these fairytales of live work play because you know you can afford to work minimum wage in the shop below and rent the overpriced department above, right?
I’m sorry did I sound sarcastic? I meant to sound sarcastic. If it was maybe small like a dozen units and stores I would say OK that will be at least in keeping with probably human scale in the Borough of Malvern.
Here’s hoping Malvern can get it together enough to stay on top of this. They have yet another new manager who came in at the end of 2024 and I hope she realizes Chester County is a different beast from Delaware County. She is a commissioner in Upper Chichester and used to be Manager in Darby Township.
Malvern Borough is one of those places where they try to keep things on the down low, nothing to see here. I am a particular fan at the moment of the Mayor of Malvern Borough who liked a post the other day that was literally bashing me on Facebook. That’s so very professional for a man I’ve never met. And the amusing thing is the post was just because, literally…a woman I had never even ever interacted with.
Yeah Mr. Mayor, I see you. Maybe it’s time to just retire completely?
30 apartments is going to be fairly tall. And Malvern Borough seems to forget the last time they got something they didn’t like called Eastside flats which really aren’t wearing very well are they?
Apparently the development has a lot of variances needed so right now they’re just digging a hole in the ground, which of course is very attractive with the bright orange construction fencing, which really isn’t too hard for kids to get into. I might add.
Oh, and the 30 apartments? 31 bedroom units and if you’ve seen most of the one bedroom apartments being built today, they are very urban style. In other words there’s not too terribly much room for you to even change your mind. Nothing is affordable because God forbid you have affordable units as an affordable housing. It helps create and keep a more transient society, which isn’t good for overall areas because people don’t know the history they don’t care about the history they come and they go depending on the rent increases. Ask people in the Summerhill development in West Whiteland for example, ok?
Of course this evening is the public hearing in East Whiteland that you can zoom or attend in person about the repurposed office building over on Swedesford. It is another live work, play fairytale and it’s 220 units.
You know it would be really nice if these municipalities especially when they are in the same school district would actually work together better on how many development units were coming. Between the municipalities and a couple of school districts you have to wonder when Great Valley School District in particular is going to end up like West Chester Area School District , or Downingtown…or huge. And in the case of Great Valley, it’s kind of like Tredyffrin. Where are they going to put more schools? Oh wait in Tredyffrin they repurposed one of these godforsaken obsolete office parks into plans for a school!
So all the people without reading comprehension are going to just say once again I am anti-development across the board. And that’s not it. I am anti-bad planning and I am anti-ugly developer profit driven cram plans.
Communities need to allow for some development to keep moving forward. The problem in Pennsylvania is it’s too much development because the municipalities planning code hasn’t been updated since 1969.
Anyway it’s a Hardy Boys Mystery this one: The A Name Pharma Mysteries.
So what is going on here? Did Chester County ever get any money back? Inquiring minds want to know….
Taa Taa For Now dear readers….
More of the not so distant past on Advaite below and gosh you would think Chester County would have updated residents right? But have they? I can’t find anything recent-ish can you? Will this be like getting blood from a stone for Chester County?
So this contretemps began this afternoon and after much mansplaining by one unknown quantity, I decided as a woman I had to take a closer look.
It started with a conversation about how Lower Merion Township has traded on the phrase “First Class Township”. The phrase is amusing because Upper Chichester, Uppet Darby, Darby Township and Caln Township are also “First Class Townships.”
The “first class” designation has to do with size, not how good a municipality is. But it does lend itself to “first class” spin. The actual phrase is “Township of the First Class” . You can learn more by reading the Pennsylvania Code for Townships of the First Class.
So this silliness (as silly as those who don’t know what the actual origins of the Main Line are, etc.) ensued because there is a new fake newsletter called Spotlight on Lower Merion:
It reads like an AI thriller. Weird snippets of poached-feeling content and not much substance. And this is not an actual Lower Merion Township publication as in the local municipality putting this out. And it is suspiciously similar to a thing in Upper Merion:
And the common denominator is a Keller Williams Realtor:
Sooooo…. I had written an update to the pickleball issue at Upper Main Line YMCA with their neighbors. Apparently the pickle pusses didn’t like it and for a while it was a barrage of nasty comments and impersonation of an actual friend (that he thinks he has possibly traced to the source incidentally.)
But hey, attack me like I am the only person talking about this. Yep, here is the fan mail. I dressed it up for Christmas below. The milk of human kindness overflows. If this is the camaraderie and hail good fellow well met of this sport, well isn’t that sad?
No one I have heard of over there or anywhere wants pickleball to leave, the neighbors just want fair treatment. And pickle heads targeting me? That accomplishes nothing except maybe I write about it more? Good job, then.
Again, maybe the neighbors have rights too? They should. Time will tell in Easttown.
Well, it’s over… For now. I’m not sharing any spoilers. I have always been fascinated with how many different kinds of people love this series.
Why have people loved Yellowstone so much? Is it because it’s emblematic of all the things we’ve actually lost in this country?
We’re not all cowboys and not many run ranches. Farmers are a dying breed and our open space is being taken over by some form of development or another. And that That is one of the things that has always struck me about Yellowstone is it’s portrayal of people trying to save what they love, where they live.
It has been a wild story of life and loss and love. It has been an escape yet it’s very raw and real feeling at times. It gives a lot of air time to American native peoples that we haven’t seen since the spaghetti westerns of our childhood and it’s a lot more accurate and not cartoonish. In Canada, indigenous and native peoples are a big part of their television programming.
The whole talking about the land and how nobody can afford to buy it unless it’s a developer definitely resonates here.
It’s a story of good and evil. Sometimes the evil is not what you thought. That’s kind of symptomatic of life. I think.
I actually know people who call the wild places of Montana and Colorado and other places with wildness left home. The longer I am here the more I understand the need for the wild places, a way to restore the balance between humans and nature.
Since before COVID we have been delaminating as a society. It’s a nationwide disease. Boundaries and manners? Optional at best.
I’m a blogger. In the OG category. I started blogging before it was a thing. I started blogging because it gave my community at the time a voice to try to stop what was happening to it (eminent domain for private gain.)
This blog here has been a journey since coming to Chester County. Blogs are opinion based and once again we live in a universe where your freedom of opinion is somewhat subjective, and it’s not what the founding fathers intended, but this is what it is right now.
Yes, there are things I think about. There are things that interest me. There are things that don’t interest me. It’s not a media outlet and doesn’t pretend to be. People think there are things that I should be writing about just like there are things that are public information that I shouldn’t be writing about and I’m always bemused by both scenarios, especially when it is not like I am the only person talking about whatever in the first place is it?
I think the strangest thing about being a blogger now is the obsession that some people have for me as a person. Like they own a piece of my soul or they should own a piece of my soul. I’m just one woman so I don’t quite get it. Maybe I’m not supposed to? We can’t control everyone else’s behavior. We can only control our own right? So why is this particular blog and me a thing that needs to be controlled?
People seem to live life like it’s a giant reality TV show. The problem with that is then sometimes you find people that are supposed to protect us or legislate for all of our best interests only they don’t. They’re part of the problem. This isn’t about conspiracy theories, or conspiracy theorists. These are observations of things just going on around us.
I think political corruption is as real as political disillusionment. Of course that makes it hard for those who actually do things for the right reasons as opposed to personal gain.
I recently heard about someone who seems to be setting their proverbial cap so to speak to be a county commissioner. I think they made a lame attempt to try to be a state rep once as well. Yeah good luck with that and bless your heart. If this one runs, it will be a bring your popcorn situation to their election cycle.
And then talk about political disillusionment. Recently, a former local politician turned minister was charged with some pretty heinous acts against someone with intellectual disabilities. And people are saying, the churches circling the wagons? They will protect someone who did this? What kind of God is that they worship exactly?
People’s perception of God and religion is another thing that I have marveled at the past few years. I don’t get all these people that love their angry God. Can people not have their individual faiths and religions? Why is one better than the other? Are we all supposed to be the same? That of course brings me full circle to are we all Stepford on this bus or are we supposed to be?
And then there is the world where we live where people who are supposed to enforce the rule of law seem to think they can make up their own laws along the way? This isn’t anything specifically locally, it’s kind of a nationwide issue and it gives the true white hats a harder go of it, doesn’t it ? North South East West.
From coast to coast, we’re kind of a messed up country right now. What is it we believe in and what is it we are supposed to believe in?
Monday we learned of another school shooting. In Wisconsin, a school called Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. According to the New York Times “ a private school founded in 1978 with the goal of providing “academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment,” according to the school’s website.”
Once again, the shooter seems to be another kid. Yes a juvenile so what are we doing in this world that this is where kids think they need to go? And this time a girl. When I was a kid, I remembered not liking the mean girls, but I don’t remember anyone wanting to shoot them. I also don’t remember kids having such easy access to firearms, even if their parents owned them.
What is our world about today? What are we about today? 
We have our families and maybe that’s where we need to focus? Why are we paying attention all the time to social media?
And as far as the fake influencers and the stuff, that is just such bullshit that you can’t believe somebody posted it.
I don’t pay attention to the fake influencers. They don’t interest me. They live their plastic lives in their plastic world in their bubble. They can have their bubble.
Yet this is our weird world in which we exist.
We live in strange times. We live in sad times. We live in times where people think because I blog I should be a super public person. And then there are the ones that reach an obsessive point because I don’t want to write about whatever it is their topic is. and the thing is this would they do that to a regular reporter? I think the answer is no.
Things that are important to me? My friends and my family and they’re none of anyone else’s goddamn business.
I’ve had three losses in 2024 a friend from childhood and a friend from college years that I didn’t even know had passed away essentially the same time as my other friend because again she lived far away from here now. The last was an artistic and family friend whom I knew since I was a little girl. Three really great loving women whom it was a privilege to know.
These are the things that really matter. I tried to explain that to someone this weekend who was talking about particular local government and I finally just kind of said to them that I was in a social setting and that was not appropriate or desired conversation in that moment.
I don’t know what people expect of each other at times. I do take interest in a lot of different things that is happening around us, but not everything interests me all the time, either. Does that make sense?
It’s almost Christmas. Maybe we could all due with a little reflection. 
And no, this post isn’t like some secret Beatles song you’re supposed to play backwards while juggling in the air or something. It’s just some random thoughts in mid December. 
The comment I am about to share has sent my teeth on edge and if you don’t want to listen to my rant, get off of this post now:
Chester County Ramblings my current neighborhood is not a dense borough, is not walkable, and has no restaurants/shops/galleries/etc. Regardless, I’m fine with development and don’t object to new neighbors. Not everyone is a NIMBY.
I don’t agree with everything you post but you are definitely “in the know” and I appreciate the updates.
As soon as my kids finish HS, I’ll be moving to a new place and WC Borough is on the list. I hope it has more apartments, nice buildings, restaurants, etc. by that time. It keeps getting better as it gets redeveloped. Maybe it will even have restored train service in a few years but I’m not holding my breath.
I’m curious as to why you choose to live in the suburbs of a major city when you frequently lament growth, development, and change? Wouldn’t some place like Forest County be a better fit? Or do you simply want access to the amenities this region offers by virtue of having the density and wealth of being near a city but not the development and congestion that come along with that? You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.
Also this comment:
Y’all hate when someone builds something on an empty lot 😂
And this one:
That was a historic parking lot though! George Washington parked there!
And this one:
Chester County Ramblings I own a home in the borough, drive or walk past these sites multiple times a week, doesn’t bother me one bit. I lived in Chestnut Square when it was first built and it was awesome, brought a lot of young people into the town, everyone was proud to live there and the property was always well taken care of. It brings more people to our local businesses and restaurants, more money into the borough. The only people I see complaining are the ones too high and mighty to live near “renters”. No one will convince me that replacing an empty concrete lot or an abandoned Burger King with a brand new, nice, apartment building is a bad thing.
And this:
All the NIMBY’s know is unhappiness about any sort of growth and change. They are perfectly content with this region stagnating and declining while the rest of the world flourishes and advances. I can see being against a 5-floor apartment complex on a farm in West Nantmeal Township, but on an empty parking lot in a walkable town with amenities?
I’m really tired of having the same conversation over and over and over again.
While some are reveling in their ignorance of what they think are funny comments, they are missing the point and the point is there are too many apartments.
NONE of these developments are even attractive at this point . The development can be along I 95 in Philadelphia or in Chester County and it all looks the same. Cheap looking Lego boxes.
Too many apartments are creating a transient aspect to society out here. It causes issues with other types of real estate. It encourages predatory real estate investors, etc.
It’s just whatever the developer can suck out of the plot of land. If these folks all want to be part of the conversation, they’re welcome to be part of the conversation but if they’re just here to be ignorant, they can F off.
I’m just tired of it. We can’t have intelligent conversations about anything.
People can either constructive and polite even if you are on the other side of the issue, but they are not . Does anyone think these apartments are doing anything in the long run? They aren’t. They cause more kids to be in already bursting at the seams schools and they cause other stresses on infrastructure which is human and otherwise so it’s services like utilities, and then it’s emergency services like fire and police, etc and roads.
So if anyone out there would like dense buildings next to you, give the developers your address I’m sure they can oblige.
We can’t handle everything that’s being built literally. And our municipalities can not afford it. They get the short term high of ratables, but then we’re all on the hook.
There is no pace. There’s no real design. There’s a lack of human scale in most of these developments and issues with setbacks as well. Find open space? Not if they can help it. You know how you get open space in any of these new developments? If they can’t build on all of the land correct?
And then there are the developers that shove these plans down the throats of people in various municipalities and then they just let everything sit there and rot Today we have seen in Berwyn what happens with that. See my post on Berwyn Square.
Yes, communities have to grow and evolve to survive. But the growth shouldn’t always hurt so much and how about plans that are less dense and not so many rentals? That would probably be welcome just like anything other than a cram plan of apartments or townhouses.
What about affordable housing? I mean, basic average houses that people can downsize to who are getting older but raised their families and possibly even grew up themselves in a particular community or area. I’m also talking about what used to be called “starter houses” for people who grew up somewhere and came back to raise their own families and start their adult lives in a particular community. And by affordable housing, I’m also referring to low income housing. The state of the current supply of low income housing in Chester County is deplorable.
These developers aren’t building for a sense of community. They’re building for a sense of their own bank accounts. This is why you saw two municipalities this past election put an open space referendum on the ballot – East Whiteland and Uwchlan. Both referendums passed.
We don’t live in Chester county because it’s just some random suburb, we live here because we love the history of our county and we don’t want to become what Montgomery County and Delaware County have become and we’re pretty much there. It’s becoming too much development, overcrowded schools and an urban feel which is not what most of us signed up for. Bucks County too. Basically pick a county.
The Municipalities Planning Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is something I have written about so many times before I’ve lost count. This is the state level zoning bible, the guides all municipal zoning throughout the state. This weighty tome came into being when the definition of suburb and exurb was very different than today. this thing has not been comprehensively updated since around 1969. We’re at 2024. That’s 55 years.
Supposedly there was a big update in 2022, but I don’t remember anyone in Harrisburg enacting an act of the state constitution to do it?
What changed in 2022? Things most people didn’t even realize happened:
Amended Title 53 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish the Municipal Boundary Change Act. This act also defined changes to real property that don’t require the assessment office to adjust an assessment
Amended Section 509 of the MPC to clarify the amount of financial security that municipalities should retain to cover the cost of remaining improvements on a subdivision or land development. This amendment took effect in February 2022
What we’re looking for in our communities among other things is more open space preservation, historic preservation that actually has teeth, and meaning, means to slow down the pace of development and have better control in our communities over the types of development we’re seeing. we want to be able to say we need to pause dense development and we want tools that our municipalities can legally have to help us preserve the feeling of where we call home.
It feels like every square inch of where we live is getting developed doesn’t it and as soon as you say, I really wish there wasn’t so much development you’re called NIMBY.
That’s bullshit. And the reality is the pace of development currently is not sustainable long-term and the stuff being built it doesn’t have staying power. The finishes and building style is just put it up as fast as you can. It doesn’t last. What is being built is not inexpensive and it looks cheap.
Parcels of land are built out to every inch possible. If any thing is retained as “open space” half of the time it’s not billable so you think a developers being magnanimous, but they really aren’t.
And then with all this development, especially in places like West Chester Borough you have people that’ll say “but we need workability and then maybe we’ll get the train back .”
Do you have two dollars? I can give you a piece of my bridge. I don’t really own a bridge. It’s a turn of phrase. All I’m saying is people are so gullible that they want to believe just about anything, but it doesn’t mean anything is based in reality.
And people always want to just say I’m NIMBY and I hate all development. There have been developments in the past I’ve actually liked. but those plans are few and far between or in some cases never actually happened because they were too good to be true.
Plans for development need to fit the communities in which they are going to be located. which of course is why I am worried about what is planned for the Weston tract in West Whiteland of W. King Rd. It’s why I am also concerned about whatever warehouses are being planned for the corner of Phoenixville Pike and W. King Rd. in West Whiteland.
Another thing I’m concerned about is whatever will happen with that random 15 acres that are partially in East Goshen and West Whiteland that were part of Schiffer Farm that the West Chester University Foundation is selling to a developer which backs up to a sweet older neighborhood on Old Phoenixville Pike.
And things like Lionville Station Farm are still in play aren’t they? And what is it about Downingtown Area School District that you don’t really know what’s going on with what the latest buyer is actually going to do?
And then you go past what used to be Happy Days Farm. The scale and just size of those warehouses is insane and no more farm.
If you want to see what negative impacts are occurring with all of this development try to drive through Ardmore or Wayne. Look at all the apartments in Tredyffrin, including along 202.
All of the development is overly dense and it’s about maximizing developer profit. It has nothing to do with community. It has nothing to do with any of us who were here first.
Again, all of this development is not sustainable. All of the rentals don’t foster a sense of community but they do create a more transient society. But go ahead, call me NIMBY if it makes you feel better. It’s not the truth.
I mean, yikes! So much for Berwyn Square being the fabulous addition to Easttown Township, right? I mean, how long is Easttown Township going to allow this to go on? This affects property values of neighboring properties, residential and commercial. It looks like a slum.
I was tipped off today when I saw a post:
So the entire roof hasn’t completely collapsed as of earlier with photos sent to me, but you look at the photos being shared here that residents sent to me today and you tell me if you think that looks safe? And how about there’s no construction fencing around this entire project and does police tape, and those sawhorse / barricade things keep people out?
Residents have expressed concern for quite a while now haven’t they? Haven’t among the complaints been not only does the site look like a slum, people have questioned it being secure as in. They’re worried about people getting into it?
I think I first wrote about this in 2019 and that would’ve been under the prior developer. The meetings caused such a huge resident turnout that they had to cancel one of them and reschedule.
Residents have been against this super sizing since this first began and I think that was what 2018 or so? I’ve lost count because this has been going on and been a consternation for so many years at this point.
I have to ask how can they say? They actually care about the community around this site and how can Easttown allow this to continue? This is ridiculous. There isn’t even cyclone fencing up around this site. Haven’t residents been worried before about middle schoolers and other kids getting in there?
OK, everyone gets it. The site will be developed, but what was there before obviously needs to be taken down ASAP no BS. They need to clear that lot and make it look neat and safe. Now I realize in order for Easttown Township to do the cleanup themselves they might have to take the property via eminent domain, but wouldn’t that be for public purpose at this point because it doesn’t look quite safe? And I don’t like eminent domain, but they’re not taking care of the property and they’re not moving forward on the project right now, are they? Now I also wonder if Easttown could force the unsafe structures to come down as a matter of public safety without taking the property because I remember East Whiteland did that on two dilapidated properties two different times in recent memory.
The neighbors deserve better. The residents of Easttown in general deserve better.
It seems like no matter what municipality you live in you are living with development sites that haven’t quite popped yet and they just sit there rotting don’t they? 
Giddy up Easttown and DP Partners, giddy up. This is BS. This developer likes to tell people at meetings how he’s one with the community, well dude do you want this across the street from your house?
