• It is so sad to see the destruction taking place opposite Old Stage Road at Kingston Pike. This development is destroying all kinds of hardwoods and native dogwoods and redbuds — and for what, more apartments and more retail?

We already have a lot of vacant retail space in Town; we already have over 1,000 apartments already in Town. How much more do we need? Why do we keep doing this? Isn’t it about time that we consider enough is enough?
