...serving up your daily dish.
It's a safe bet these folks aren't serving any construction workers lemonade. This photo comes from Garrett Morrison, with the following information:
That's Dora and Dorian Morozov's house. It is a three family. Unfortunately all three families that live there are home a lot during the day. They don't look very well rested or as happy as before the construction started. It will be like that for a while as construction unfolds over the next few years (Orange Road Deck, Crescent Deck,; Hahne's/Sienna, Grabowsky Renovation, Gibbs, Salvation Army, Plofker Hotel, etc.). Some trees that acted as a buffer were cut down because the town gave the builder permission to construct on the property line. They even cut back the Morozov's trees to make room for the drill. They are drilling down 20-25 feet for underground parking.
According to one of the construction officials I spoke with, 130+ workers will be arriving when the project hits high gear. I've been asking different Montclair officials if they know where they will park. No answers yet. Businesses are going to freak when 130 pickup trucks fill all the prime spaces near Church Street from 6:30 until 4 p.m.

Sounds like fodder for a "Progress on the March" newsreel.

That's a great idea. Throw the bums out! Perhaps they'll find a homeless shelter with there's abundant parking.
