You Won't Have the Marlboro Inn to Kick Around Anymore

Or maybe you will.

You know, we were driving by the site just last night, watching all that brown mud draining off onto Grove Street during the rain, and thinking how much we missed the days when we all we had to do for a story was write something about the Marlboro Inn. And then, like a gift, in today's Ledger...

Hempstead at Montclair? That's what Phil Read says Steve Plofker is thinking about naming the housing development he's building there. Surely, Steve, you can do better than that.

My Ballot Box
What should Steve Plofker name his new development?

Hempstead at Montclair
Marlboro Innlet Villas
The Mews at Montclair (wait, is that taken?)
Equine Estates on Grove
Cotswolds at Gladstone at Farnham at Shopshire at Montclair

Hempstead? As in Long Island? Methinks Mr. Plofker has been smoking too much hemp, 'stead of working on his properties.

What a horrible idea to name something here. East Easthampton will be the next one, surely.

Anywho - as for the mud running away, just wait til the storms they're expecting over the next two days, they're beind described as "tropical."

I wouldn't worry about the amount of mud at the site. For some there is more than ample supply.

I voted for the lattermost option. But, typo alert, it should be "Shropshire." Unless you mean to reference the Church Street shopping that will surely be touted as a selling point for these homes.

I voted for the most downward option. But by all that's British, it should be "Shropshire." Unless you were referencing the toney Church Street shopping that will surely be touted as an additional inducement to buy these homes.

How about "Ye Olde Marlborough Inne Tickee-Tackee-Yuppee-Wantee Hempstead Heathe Mansionettes?"

Bit about the wedding in the Gazebo was good, though.

I think it is Shropshire, not Shopshire, but then maybe the place would include a gift shop or a boutique?

Now I see that cathar got to that before me. I should read the previous postings more carefully!
