[RP TownTalk] new sign in front of the Cafritz property on Rt. 1

[Don Lynch]

Well, this news is very disturbing to me.

I was assured by a town official that the sign removal and replacement 
by College Park were unrelated, when in fact they were.

I sit and wonder why we are not being informed of the facts?

What implications does this portend?
