Dunn Lumber city's broken window
Posted Tue, 2009-12-01 01:05
NSBNEWS.net photo by Henry Frederick. The former Dunn Lumber property, now owned by the city of New Smyrna Beach at a cost of $417,000 for nearly a year, is no closer to being the "gateway" to the city.
It stands at the corner of West Canal Street and U.S. 1, a symbol of ugliness that greets the tourists those on Canal Street are so eager to draw, spending tens of thousands of dollars on Christmas tree lights and a 20-foot artificial tree.
But even with all the glitz and glitter of holiday lights, Dunn Lumber stands as a symbol of the city's albatross. It's the white elephant that won't go away. It's the structure of decay.

Blogger Marilee Walters: Echoing the 'frustration' of the taxpayers
Posted Tue, 2009-12-01 22:48
What we are beginning to see is, although it has been "festering" is the frustration of the "taxpayers."
They are beginning to awaken from their complacency, and are shocked and angry with what they see. A lot of them are taking it to the "streets" so to speak.
What the elected officials are learning is that they no longer will be able to act without providing answers to their constituents and also transparency. Democracy in action is surfacing.
We see it happening here in New Smyrna Beach.
