Fairfield News: Blight Continues To Plague Fairfield
Fairfield CT–(Fairfield News: Blight Continues To Plague Fairfield) – Fairfield CT–All the nice improvements that have happened on Kings Highway East with the new Walgreens replacing the eye sore that was once Brown Brothers Furniture and rundown apartments have given a uplift to the neighborhood. Even the Hookah Lounge has remodeled. What continues to be an eye sore to the neighborhood is the building across the street from Walgreens. What once was a Volkswagen dealership is now overflow parking for a local car dealer. While the commercials for the dealership jokes the dad will never retire from the dealership, maybe he should take a ride down the street and see how this dilapidated building on the property he is renting continues to be an eyesore bringing down property values to his neighbors.
