Although not necessarily the most conventional flowerpots, at least Mr. Robar's choice of containers gets a really good point across. The donut shop business that he wanted to sell to in requesting a variance for the use of the vacant lot certainly would have been more desirable than what you are all complaining about now! Most importantly, a donut shop would not have changed the character of that corner lot as there are other businesses on that same corner and just up the street. The reasons for denying the variance request in the first place, were, in my opinion, weak at best and at the time, and seemed to me to be more an appeasement to some complainer's jealousy! In any case, and whatever the reason, I hope he continues his passive method of protest to totally drive the point home to the town government that more and better consideration along with fairness to all should prevail in any of the town's decisions. Having read about the town's decision to relocate the town hall contrary to the popular vote turning it down speaks volumes of the local government's arrogance and seemingly self-serving decisions. Fortunately, Mr. Robar can better afford to protest and defend his right to do so; many others cannot.
