Last winter I was in town for a day and drove by that dangerous eyesore! It’s amazing that in a town with the average price of a house at 2.6 million has that ugly, dangerous eyesore right on the Post Road.
Just moved to town. So curious as to what is the story there? It seems like a dangerous eyesore.
Beth, It’s a dangerous eye sore! It has always been an odd piece of property. I remember when a local construction company used to park trucks there, entering from the Post Road. At least that wasn’t a danger.
It’s about time…enough!
If those 2.6 million dollar homes had no fireplaces and the occupants had no desire for a cozy fire in their manse, there’d be no demand for fire wood and that “dangerous eyesore” would not exist.
Grin an bear it; it’s a hell of a lot less dangerous than the drive you took to get to that intersection…as to the the “eyesore”, the Hamlet at Saugatuck’s gonna’ be oh so much uglier.
From what I heard, a tree service company rents this empty lot which has been vacant and for sale forever. The logs get sent to paper companies, lumber companies, etc. I believe the town is involved in a legal dispute with one of the parties involved. It does look menacing.
Doesn’t bother me one bit. Especially at that PRE location. I’m with Dan Katz on this one. We’ve got bigger fish to fry with the Scamlet..Oops I mean Hamlet.
Agreed. Nice to see something in town that isn’t perfectly manicured, and serving a purpose. This is better than another bank or nail salon. Or anything like the Scamlet.
The point that seems to be getting missed about this jam-packed lot of huge logs in the middle of town is that they are locally sourced: These are the mature trees taken down when developers clear-cut a teardown property to make way for a massive new home. If you want to get mad, take out your ire on the people creating the problem in the first place.
