If Renaissance really wants to outreach to the citizens, they will buy the apt. building on the corner of summer and main st. it's an eyesore and has always attracted low lifes and has always been a haven of drug activity. no one will want to go downtown if another absentee landlord buys it. do us a favor, Renaissance, and buy the place, tear it down and make it part of your plan.

ReplyDeleteFurey?! He's just a lawyer horning in, getting his name in the paper to get more clients.
