It’s disgraceful. Memorial Field is an apt name for it because the citizens of Mt Venon should be holding a memorial for this once great field. Our elected officials all share the blame for this blighted eyesore. Each one promised to bring it back to its original grandeur or make it even grander. But they all lied and bickered with each other like spoiled children and now Mt Vernon is a shadow of what it once was. Other cities surrounding us must be laughing at our foilies but they should be concerned. Blight is like a malignant tumor. Unchecked, it will spread.
