@sheylove33 @JoshShapiroPA @whyyradiotimes @MartyMossCoane Those shaded areas are actually property boundaries. Still not a place for junk!

Victory! The Zoning Board has made a final decision in favor of the community. 532 W Annsbury St cannot operate as a junkyard. At all. Ever.

Thank you 2 @MariaQSanchez for her letter opposing the junkyard zoning request. They can't comply w the setbacks!

Judge finds in favor of neighbors! To paraphrase: "This court finds that those junkyard folks are squatters." http://t.co/5VCqWAzly6

What happens legally to a railroad right-of-way after formal abandonment? Does it cease to exist? @TheCRHS @SEPTA https://t.co/m67KhkAwQt
