Quote of the Day
If [Walentas] owned the Empire Stores, they would be a spectacular waterfront attraction instead of the decrepit and crumbling pieces of s--t that they are today. Those State-owned hulks are the Achilees' heel of the neighborhood. Old-fashioned urban blight brought to us by the State office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation -ironically enough.

they were awarded to Boymelgreen by the State years ago assisted by huge developer overestimate of potential rents, nothing happened and state couldn't transfer to park entity so nothing could happen if they had been awarded to the bidder making realistic projections (two trees) we'd be closer to the goal today
