"Please keep posting stories like this. They prove that you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.
The restoration of the station has hardly begun with much work left. Check your facts before you post alarmist articles. I'm guessing you have not spoken with the owners ... they would have told you what is actually going on. "

Now this comment we find rather interesting. It shows that the reader paid no attention as to where the concept of potential demolition comes from. It came from the Gloucester Main Street Preservation Trust's web site. The information is on a PDF and we have linked that PDF to this site on a previous post. It is very very slow loading because the PDF is a huge file. Whoever made the PDF didn't shrink the images on the pages prior to creating the pages.
Look at the previous post. The top image was shot in 2010 by us. The second image is from 2012 and is used above. Now look at the image of the service station that comes from the GMSPT site below.
The picture image from the PDF page that comes from the Gloucester Main Street Preservation Trust site shows a different look to the present look of the building. The outside of the building has been restored from it's original condition. Is it the inside that may not have been restored? We are not interested in that. If the building is up for rent, then it's up to the new tenant to put in whatever they want or need for their business. The outside has been refurbished which is restored. (Information from the GMSPT suggests the building can be used as a potential cafe, suggesting the building is up for rent).
The demolition information is right in front of everyone. You are looking at it above. What exactly is alarmist about it? What is the reader really trying to convey to us? Look at 6.1.3 above. It states remove the existing structure, referring to the Edge Hill Service Station. This is not our information, it comes from the GMSPT site that anyone can read at any time.
These are part of the sub plans that have already been submitted to the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors and the Board has already passed a 7 to zero vote on accepting. We have the video showing this as well. Is the reader nervous about this information being made public? The local paper sure didn't cover this. We can post that video at any time as it comes directly from the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors.
It looks like we are making some people rather nervous by exposing what is really going on in the county. So we are going to continue to expose these bad ideas so everyone knows what is going on. Like we keep saying, what no one else is willing to cover.

Just kidding. If it's free to the public, it's free to county employees as well.
