Looking West on Romano

Looking back (westward) on Romano Street you see an old, somewhat neglected, neighborhood. Don’t misunderstand me, the majority of folks who live along this end of the street take care of their property, nothing extravagant, but it’s their home. Unfortunately, the neighborhood also suffers for reasons other than economics. Just south of this end of Romano is the city’s sewage treatment plant, and when the wind is out of the South, South East, it pretty apparent who their neighbor is. Once the new Maritime Park is built, on land just to the South East of Romano Street, plans are to move the plant to the upper reaches of the county. When that happens, the property values will sky rocket, and the complexion (no pun intended) of the neighborhood will probably change. Only time will tell.
