how is this a bad thing? its been sold but its going to be renovated back to its glory days with added condos and apartments. i could see being sad about it if they were demolishing it to put in a high rise but this is a good thing :)

Native Americans are a myth.

we don't like apartments and condos. the traffic increase is stagering. this is a treed neighbor hood. By law ( years ago) it has been delcared Historic so the goverment cannot destroy. The goverment bought it durring WWll for use as bed space for the soldiers. It was used during vietnam also. It had been in such disrepair as to be dangerious. The goverment said it was their white elephant. I would have like to see it revert back to the school...college...UMD extension...but $$$ rules in the world. The same company that owns and is developing the property did some shit work down county...short cutting materials/zoneing requirements that are now failing and lawsuites..graft.
if you have interest here's the poo on our hood..Mary and I live in 'Braemar" 1890 Victorian part of the origianl school but was sold private because it was outside (1 minuet walk) from the main campas when the goverment bought the property during WWll
