Here remains the old "Laundry Building" of the Fay Estate. It was just up for sale (trying to sell for over a year now). This is the current residence of the former mayor of Lynn- Antonio Marino, who recently voiced his opinion in the Salem and Lynn newspapers. Marino was a mayor in a period of economic downturn for the city, when downtown seen a decline loosing the heart of business diversity to the big malls in other townships.
How can anyone follow economic advise from a leader who reined in a city's downfall. How can we value the thoughts of someone who is trying to leave the area? How can such statements in the paper echo the words of other small minded politicians who have ignored the petition outcry from the people? Don't take my advise either on the economy... the real issue is- if these developments want to happen, they can find another site which will not hurt society, take away open space, hurt the environment and places with history.
I do hope this home goes up for sale again, so the next owner will hopefully have pride and respect in wanting to preserve and protect the area... instead of wanting to bring our cultural landscapes of heritage to the laundry.
peace
oh for the days when we swam in the pits in the summer
ReplyDeleteoh for the days when we watched out for the pond cop when we fished
oh for the days when the shiners attacked a piece of bread like pirahnas
back to those days is my only wish.
When a walk around the pond didnt go thru someone yard
when catching a big fish wasnt so hard
while campin out we'd look at the stars
oh for those days
oh for those days
Js
