[RP TownTalk] EYA in Hyattsville

[Jonathan W. Ebbeler]

Sue - 

 

I hope you understand that I am not in disagreement with your sentiment.  My
comment was solely around the legalities of that sentiment.  Part of the
reason I moved to the town was due to the Riversdale mansion and grounds as
well as the extensive MNCPPC parklands and trails.

At my age, I more than realize things don't stay the same. Unlike many
residents in town and probably unlike 3/4 of the people commenting on this
issue, I can remember when the Riverdale Plaza site was a working farm, I
remember the town before Rte. 410 cut through.  So I've certainly seen lots
of change.  But no matter who owns the Cafritz property now and whoever
owned it in the past, or whatever they did with it, to my way of thinking
"this was the way it was done in the past" isn't necessarily a good reason
for doing something now.  The trees are there, they've taken a long time to
grow, and not only do they add a nice touch of green to the area, they add
to our oxygen supply.  Our town was supposedly renamed Riverdale "Park" a
few years back in large part to reflect its park-like nature.  The way it's
going, if we're going back to the past, we might as well go back to calling
the town Riverdale because we won't have any 'park' left.
