Well, I for one am glad they did include your neighborhood!

However, those folks thought they could incorporate and block development. Initially, there was no county water or sewer out here and the plan was to keep lot sizes to at least one acre. Now, this was before we had homes the size of hotels being built here. Most of the founding members of the Marvin council were in a neighborhood smaller than Providence Glen. And, I assure you, the intent was anything but being inclusive and arrogant. However, as the council has turned over and the second wave of newcomers have come along, it seems they are coming with a different attitude. They don't mind density and they seem to have deep pockets and the very attitude that I hear folks on here saying they are moving to get away from...
I am so very sad for this community that doesn't even resemble the one I grew up in. I'm pretty sure that today's council would not include my neighborhood if they had the choice. So, so sad... Mike Cognac, come back!
berry,dawn - What? No Lexus LS470 or RX350. You two, are going to be marched to the Marvin/Waxhaw border and be "pushed" out and your Gucci handbags and shoes will be confiscated!!!
I actually drive a 2004 Toyota that is fully paid for and doesn't have all the extras that the Limited model has. I plan to drive that around Marvin for a LONG time to come! I will probably be stopped and asked if I am lost! HA!

Dawn - That Toyota is "marginally" acceptable. The councilman has proclaimed that all Hyundai and Suzuki owners will be shot on sight!
I think he will most likely declare our Saturns unacceptable soon. I got pretty good at dodging bullets while driving in LA, I guess I need to practice again.
