So long, silo

Ed, in Ewing, they have developed, destroyed or condemned almost 99 percent of our farmland and locations of historical value. So, it’s even more shameful that they are allowing the destruction of the ancient brick silo on Bear Tavern Road. This beloved landmark has stood for a century for this rich farming community, and it will be brought down for a restaurant’s storage area that could just as easily be built on the other side of the building. The residents voiced their opinion and our wishes have been ignored. One would think before allowing new construction in Ewing, they would make certain the slew of abandoned properties and buildings that continue to attract crime would be used.
Farm Hand
Good plan. Ban all growth and force any prospective businesses into crappy old buildings. Ewing will be an economic mecca.—Ed. Note

Just read about the destruction of the Silo. Used to be a great place for discrete lovers.

Did you mean discreet? Or, are you trying to be discrete by spelling it this way?English language usage is hard, and lately I've seen no lacking in proving this to be true.
My husband and I used to go there a long time ago, 35 years to be exact, when there was a roaring fire, and a cold beer on a Jan. night. Pretty lady worked there, owned the joint, I don't know. We were too much in love, we'd just gotten engaged not long ago.
