Chained to a Tree for Historic Vienna Inc.


Historic District Protest Reenactment

One of the tactics sanctioned by Maud's historic district lynch mob is the 'ole protestor chained to a tree routine'. No joke. We could not make this up. A few years back a new home was built at the corner of West and Windover in the historic district. The neighbor living across the street on West Street was so upset she chained herself to the tree on her neighbor's property. A Police file exists of the incident, but we have been unable to obtain it (More on the house in question).

Why is this all relevant? Very large trees are routinely cut down in the historic district to make way for new homes. Tom Stevens cut down one of the largest trees in the historic district to make way for his $10 million dollar super mansion. On the other hand, if the powers that be don't like you, they will argue all day long about the preservation of trees. Bottom line? There is no preservation of trees or homes going on in the historic district.

Name calling from a Town Official? That doesn't seem very professional, nor representative of the way citizens may want they want their officials to behave in public.

It is typical of a response one might get from an 11 y.o. child after which the parent would scold that child for rude behaviour. Hmmmm.

I'm sorry. I must agree, I don't see much preservation going on. I live there.

How Can Susan Allard have the nerve to show her face after she fought like hell to keep a house from being built by chaining herself to a tree, and now she makes her house much larger and more massive by cutting down one of the largest trees in NW and constructs a massive two car garage that faces the street: something Maud and her cronies have fought like hell to keep out of their district, but yet, they let the Allards have theirs without as much as a whisper.

Two faced hypocrites, that what they are.
