An Ominous Sign

At the beginning of this week, an ominous real estate sign appeared just past the intersection of Louisville Avenue with Scenic Drive.

What may be more ominous is neighborhood reaction.

One member of the Newman Park Neighborhood Association wrote in an email:

"Have you noticed the Real Estate sign as you are coming down Scenic Drive? It would be a tragedy to have the mountain excavated and leveled to build housing. What can we do to preserve the beauty of the mountain and preserve Scenic Drive? It is my opinion that no building should be allowed West of Scenic Drive."

Battle lines may be forming.
