Now isn't that just so silly? Instead of welcoming a new business and being thankful that they decided to settle here and add to the economy of the town, the mayor has to do his "Gorilla Chest Beating Act" and start to threaten the people with his " STINK POLICE ", even before they open their door. Good God, this town has more stinky places than you could wave a stinkometer at. And who decides what is "stinky" and what ain't? One man's stink may be another man's rose! Is their such a thing as an odorometer with preset graduations, so we know for sure what smells and what doesn't? It wouldn't be very fair to just depend on one individuals nose, what if he has a cold? Who would calibrate his nostrils? Do restaurants and dinners have to block off their exhaust fans now or get a certificate of "stinky smell Compliance" from the city hall? How about the dump? With the High School being so close and down wind, the dump is surely not within the limits of the odorous compliance rule? What do you think?
Anyway, the rest of us would like to welcome you and wish you success in your endeavor.

Not worthy of comment,pure crybaby crap from a cronic malcontent.Get a life.
I still think you should move to Adumbs if you don't like it here.
Southview, I think if the brewery were in operation prior to any houses being built in the area, then you would have a legitmate complaint. But since the houses are there first, one must take into account the home owners quality of life and possible property value reductions.
da snoop...you are missing the point. It was very inappropriate and blusterous for the mayor to threaten the people. That is not how you welcome new bussiness to the town.
As with any manufacturing process there are some odors associated with the process, (you should have grown up here when North Adams was going full tilt, wanna talk odors? ) I don't know what Hops and Barley smell like but I have been told it isn't an unpleasant smell, no more so than mushrooms, or freshly cut grass or lilacs.
To address your statement about the people owning homes in the area...They were aware that they were buying a house within a manufacturing zone, which probibly made the price attractive in the first place. They surely were aware that not all old mills are converted into condos or artist studios. Some mills actually still function as a mill!
"you should have grown up here when North Adams was going full tilt, wanna talk odors?" Just because I wasn't around when the sewers ran straight into the rivers doesn't mean I would want such an arrangement now. Times change for a reason.
I might agree with you, Southview, if the new owners where growing mushrooms but this a change of use and, to me anyway, should have to live up to a different set of criteria. What if a strip club wanted to open up in the mill, would that be ok? Or a dirt reclaimation facility. Welcoming new business is one thing, bringing in just any business with no strings attached would not be in the best interest of NA in the long run.
I hope the get the orientation of their sign correct or there will really be hell to pay.
da snoop... :~ )
"What if a strip club wanted to open up in the mill, would that be ok?"
Will it pay its taxes? Will it pay its employees? Will any odors be filtered out from the exhaust fans?
Why not in a mill? With all those support columns, the owners won't have to worry about installing stripper poles.
i would frequent a strip club. nothing like the smell of stripper juice!
