These Neighborhood Preservationists Can Be So Touchy
I was reading about the ongoing controversy roiling around the construction of country stupor-star John Rich’s massive McMansion which is currently being shat upon Love Circle.

Friend is a neighbor on Love Circle, and they’re thrilled — property values are up, up, up, and no one denise that the views there are better than the houses. But when you see the house — Rich will be looking down into everyone’s windows and patios fer sher.
