    Good article...recent infill is out of scale and, in my view, disrespectful of the historic character of the district. Yet, the HDC continues to approve.

    When I heard recently that a SUBWAY chain was moving in to a vacated shop on Main Street, my heart sank again. One chain, then perhaps another. People visit Ellicott City for the individual, sometimes quirky and mostly unique shops, the steep siting, the granite, the river, the history. When this is undermined by large infill and inappropriate new uses or radical change, we lose a little, then a lot. I hope the citizens can stage an "uprising," perhaps using the Egypt
    model. People need to care!
