Interview with developer missed the mark
As concerns the [“We Have Questions”] article entitled “I Had a Vision of What Plymouth Could Be”:. The buildings (The Armory, Mount Pleasant School, etc.) that have been renovated by [Rick] Vayo, et al, are beautiful.

That was a missed opportunity to turn that site into a super cool, mod boutique hotel.
