TWO BILLBOARDS MAR THE VIEW

A BILLBOARD blocks the view of the railroad's beautiful, dark red-brick building with seven dormers. This is a really beautiful old structure, and I hope the billboard will be moved.

Across the back balcony of a building at First Street Southwest and Elm, "woe unto the rich," ruins the view from the library park of the mountains and old historic buildings nearby.
