There is an old Roger’s Friendly Market on Fairfield just south of Casa d’Angelo, south of Lutheran Park, north of the Oakdale neighborhood. It is a battle field.
Developers want to tear down half of the 18,000 square foot building and convert the rest to a strip mall and filling station. It will look nice, but will not match the neighborhood surrounding it. In fact, it will look like something in from Aboite and nothing like the 1920s architecture surrounding it. Additionally, it is surrounded by single family homes, mostly three bedroom two story homes with porches and kids. The building has been vacant and has attracted some of the illegal activity that vacant buildings seem to welcome.
