I'm surprised the zoning board let Samuel Lincoln build his home so close to the street.
Plus the owners should be fined for letting their grass get to tall.
Good to know the homowners plan to higher a team of specialist to repair the sign that was knocked off the home.
And I'm glad the reporter let us know the cost new of the 7 year old vehicle involved in the accident.
A little bondo can fix those dents right up.
This whole thing seems a bit squirrely to me.

Gene, your post reminded me of when Rick Smith sent photos of the Thomas Harbin House in Piscataway, MD. (close to the street)

Thanks for your post Gene. I hope the driver had insurance
