Rezoning Historic Residential Districts... a NATIONAL problem that needs to be investigated!

We're certainly not the first town in America that has ever needed to deal with the issue of preventing a historic residential district from being rezoned for a major corporation. Here are a few websites to show that we're not alone! I found them individually using search engines, but I think that it's high time for people across the nation to realize what is going on to our Residential Historic Districts and call for action against these corporations! These websites are just the tip of the iceberg... there are thousands more just like these!
