To the Editor:

Two recent projects in town deserve commendation. The shopping center parking lot was wonderfully remade and the lighting at night is superb. Thanks goes to the new owners who were willing to fund the make-over. Let’s hope the rents do not go through the roof to pay for it.

Secondly, the University did exactly what they said they would do in demolishing the old barracks on the Butler site on Harrison Street and turning it into a wonderful open space. While the long-term plans for the site are not settled, what they have done initially is wonderful. I am sure all the neighbors are thrilled with it.
