BARRY FARM (re)MIXED: The Ongoing Saga of Wilson Court

Barry Farm (re) Mixed who break the story of the Wilson Court purchase by S.O.M.E. provides a narrative on the history of the Mellon Street property, it's initial sale, the resultant lawsuit, the purchase by SOME and SOME's current plans for the property.  Barry Farm (re)Mixed joins blogs CHOTR and Southeast Socialite in disapproving  of So Others Might Eats (SOME) plans to develop the Wilson Courts property into "special needs" housing. These  blogs as well as concerned residents feel that developement of Wilson Court into a 51 unit transitional or indepedent housing is not the best use of a property located in a small neighborhood which is already the home of several group homes.  Residents are also very concerned about the total lack of notice by SOME to the community regarding the purchase of the property or the development plans. Residents are neighbors are encouraged to get involved.
