When I moved to Elkridge in 1989, it was mostly beautiful farm land. Now look at it. Crime and houses everywhere. Yes, most of the improvements were great. We received a much needed grocery store, new elementary school, and post office. Now there are houses upon houses and people are angry about everything. Everyone is worried about the status quo, but should be more worried about themselves and their own families. Get a life, people, and stop trying to run other people's lives. If you aren't happy, there are many other places you can live. I happen to love Elkridge!

Elkridge love it or leave it. I moved here in 78 loved it as it was and would like what's left, left alone.

looking at this situation through a completely objective point of view it is easy to see both sides of the coin. Elkridge Motors is not aesthetically pleasing and I understand the concern of the neighbors. On the other hand Mr. Wilsons intent is to provide his customers quality service at the lowest possible price. Hopefully this can be resolved with a low cost alternative that will work for Elkridge Motors as well as the neighbors.

I have lived in Elkridge for 33 years. I love my town, but it is now becomming a big city. I think we all knew when they started to build all the new housing here that we were in for big city problems. Crime is and will continue to be a big problem for this city as we will never have enough police to handle it. No improovement on the roads will also be a big problem. Builders have all the rights and the small person will be fogotten as well. There is less fresh air to breath as the builders tear down the trees and they never have to replaced them as required by LAW! The city planners should be held accountable but they are part of the problem. The only way out for me is to move away from the place that I love but in this economy I cannot afford it. The builders who are the rich get richer and the middle class like me get squeezed out. We all will be stuck in traffic and dying of smog inhillation and NOTHING will ever be done about it ! It is and will allways be about the builders and the rich making money.

In the 1920s, my great grandfather built and lived in a home across and down the street from Brian's house. In the 1950s, my grandfather built and lived in a home further down Montgomery near what was the turn on to Meadowridge. I bought that house in 1990 and have raised my kids there. Speaking across 5 generations who have lived in Elkridge, that garage is part of the fabric. Just like the cider mill (gone). Just like the IGA (gone). Just like the farms (all gone). What's on your agenda after Elkridge Motors? The viaduct? If you didn't like what you saw, you shouldn't have bought and moved in. The community was just fine before all the development and the new folks took away our peace and quiet. Leave the man and his business alone. They were here first.
