Bulldozing the Albany Pine Bush 📍

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,
With a pink hotel, a boutique,
And a swinging hot spot.
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see ’em.

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

That's where the new Marriott is supposed to go, if the developers get their way. They already flattened the land, and it appears now that they are cutting back around the site, and reducing the trees to wood chips.

They Already Had Removed the Sand Dune

So why not hurry up, and finish the Daughters of Sarah assisted living home, and get the tacky vinyl siding applied, so that wealthy folk can move in an enjoy the fresh smell of the Rapp Road landfill?
