[RP TownTalk] Wachovia and the Field of Rubble

[Dwight Holmes]

Yesterday, driving by our Gateway (Rt 1@ 410), I couldn't help but notice
the weeds again taking over, two or three 'yard signs' placed here and there
advertising something (We buy houses fast! or Donate your car to us!, I'm
not sure which), and our Farmers Market banner looking rather forlorn,
sagging to the point of not quite being readable.

And then it occurred to me that the reports on Wachovia have not been good,
and I wondered what this might portend for the future of our Gateway corner.

And then I saw this this morning in the New York Times:
"Wachovia<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/wachovia_corporation/index.html?inline=nyt-org>,
the investment bank, lost 20 percent after a well-known Wall Street analyst
deemed its prospects "bleak.""

If you ask me, I'd be a bit surprised if they break ground this year.  True
or not, is there something we can do to make the lot look like somebody
cares?
