Thanks to the tenacious work of our favorite two local newspapers reporting on a hunch and a memo, Historic Everett was able to address the possibility of losing an entire block of the downtown National Historic District. (March 11 article by Noah Haglund, “Wrecking ball looms for old Everett building.”) Within a few days, beginning last Sunday, troops were mobilized and our inboxes flooded with people concerned about the possibility. Social media is an amazing thing! Instagram and Facebook brought out lots of residents who love and care for even a “gritty” Historic District instead of no Historic District. We’d all like to see the owners of the buildings find a way to maintain them better and attract new businesses but we heart them none the less.
