In my quest to promote the great job the city has done in redeveloping our city and inproving life for the residents, what a great project I spotted on one of our gateways into the city!

I believe that this was one of the first tenants of the East Side whatever it is called now-a-days park. The only thing missing is the required landscape buffer between the parking lot and road, but grass is landscaping, isn’t it?

TThe new Day Care center almost makes this gem of a property hardly noticable. The above ground fuel taks are obviously empty as the home that is locatefd directly behind the property really wouldn’t care if they ever blew up.

See how weel the property blends in with the residential property that is located next to it? Who would have guessed that a bunch of overgrown weeds would make such a pretty landscape buffer.

But seeing how the company does business with the city, I agree with the cities decision to not enforce the industrial zoning that this type of activity should be located within, because what the hell, zoning is for whimps!
