Letters to the Editor: Cell Phone Service and Preservation

We received the following letters to the editor this week, the first about cell service in Scarsdale and the second concerning historic preservation.

Cell Service

I am wondering what has happened to the enhanced cell service in Fox Meadow. There was supposed to be enhanced service by the end of September, but this morning I could not make any calls from my home and I missed an important one because there was no service into my home. Does anyone have an update on the tower at the Police Station? I am pretty sure that my neighbors and the elementary school are suffering the same lack of service that I am.

Historic Preservation

To the Scarsdale Board of Trustees,

I have been following this topic for a while. My thoughts on this are below.

I lived in Scarsdale for 37 years before I moved to Cincinnati, Ohio in March 2022.
I feel that we need keep as many historic homes as possible. It is what makes Scarsdale unique.

As a person who got his history major in college, architecture history is very important. Scarsdale is not unique to have homes with historic qualities. There is a district of historic Sears built houses in a town in Illinois.

One of the homes in the survey is down the street from my former house on Woods Lane in Scarsdale. Another home that was demolished was at 29 Church Lane. I knew the owner for years. They sold and moved and then the new owner decided to demolish it and build a brand new house.

I do not want our village to turn into a cookie cutter town. It is unique with its suburban homes and Tudor style downtown area that goes back over a hundred years.

Sincerely,
Nicholas K. Thompson
Cincinnati, Ohio
