I suppose if there is any landmark that completely symbolizes the complete and utter deterioration of out beloved home town, this is it.

THE GOVERNOR WALKED FROM THE STATE HOUSE TO THE CARTERET CLUB EVERY DAY AND CHATTED WITH ME. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THE CONDITION OF THAT AREA TODAY.

It looked so sad. The Glen Cairn Arms in its glory came to mind. In my youth I could picture wealthy dowagers bejeweled for dinner when I rode by in the bus.<br /><br />Just back on line after 3 months taking care of family member & matters that resulted from her passing. Sorry about your brother. At our stage of this game, it's tough losing our close family.omadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-53693599994090443962012-12-10T13:27:14.759-05:002012-12-10T13:27:14.759-05:00How true Tom.

Those and the Carteret Arms had a wonderful view and were addresses that commanded a bit of respect in the 1950's and 60's. I was shocked when I had to enter them in the late 1970's with the trash filled halls and boarded up windows. They became tributes to the "Section 8" housing programs of Foggy Bottom and were mostly owned by carpetbaggers from the Bronx and Brooklyn.<br /><br />Ed MillerickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
