You point about the Gangplank Marina is definitely true, I recently visited the Waterfront and was impressed by all of the boat homes.Waterfront Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455157008613301633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036970889140108549.post-53094268387479173112010-06-14T09:34:19.488-04:002010-06-14T09:34:19.488-04:00It strikes me that one of the lessons learned from...It strikes me that one of the lessons learned from this history is that razing communities is a failed model for development. It led to the segregation and isolation in Southwest in the 1970s and in the 1950s, and it sounds like the re-development by PN Hoffman could be a repeating of these historical mistakes. Let's hope it's not just the fish market that is preserved, but also the affordable housing and unique communities that make this neighborhood so special! <br /><br />The history might also want to make mention that the Gangplank Marina in the SW waterfront is home to the Eastern Seaboard's largest community of liveaboard boaters.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720033351922450587noreply@blogger.com
