Way to go Athenian!!! The Urban Framer is a wonderful organization and we're so happy that the school is not only educating its students but helping the community as well!

Olives? Shouldn't it be something you can pick distribute and eat ?

Didn't Athenian ruin a beautiful scenic hillside by putting giant solar panels on it? Hideous!

Why don’t you guys plant some trees in front of that so we don’t have to look at it?

Ah, yes -- and by contrast, the sights and sounds, and especially the natural bouquet of an oil refinery appeals to ALL the senses! Please, dear Athenians, won't you consider putting-up a little refinery, or at least one of those grasshopper pumps, next time?

Cardinal,

There’s no reason to build anything that ruins the scenic beauty of a state park.

It’s Athenian’s property, so they have the right to do it if they choose. But why not be a good neighbor and hide it behind some trees?
