Finding Ulysses

recent error of this nature allowed the addition of strip mall-style construction at the north end of town near the post office, resulting very quickly in the loss of one locally owned business and the demise of a corporate video store, leaving a blank, empty storefront now staring across a sterile swath of blacktop.

Let’s take steps to protect our distinctive village, including its fragile, independent downtown and its commercial entities, especially the local ones.
