No noise, no activity, no dumpster, no work, no progress. Still an eyesore. This is common in town.BILLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165652134301551300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-90288539104200362312022-08-27T10:21:08.885-04:002022-08-27T10:21:08.885-04:00Ugh - Too bad all of Hudson isn't in the Histo...Ugh - Too bad all of Hudson isn't in the Historic District - look at the old brick funeral home on Upper Columbia Street, total eyesore, offices where once there was a grand mansion, and lots of black.

Baring that, the city should consider a few key move, like barring non-occupied flat roofs, as a way to ensure that the<br />skyline remains defined by sloping roofs and steeples. A glance at almost any other "city" will confirm the devastating effect that buildings with flat roofs have. The flat roof allows a building to take any size, shape and dimension; regardless of the surroundings. Once they begin to proliferate, the city will lose its essential historic and look like everywhere else. If we don't allow chain stores we ought not to allow flat roofs.
