Letter: Sports bar incompatible with Falmouth neighborhood
“Why would you want to live like this?,” my father asked when we purchased our home in Falmouth’s Tidewater Farms. “You have no acreage. No privacy. No room for a swimming pool.” Growing up in Maine I knew that standard home-buying procedure meant having a center-hall Colonial on two acres of land with a 75-foot […]
