The Notre Dame site is the single, most-attractive parcel of land in West Toledo ...

Huh? I had no idea. I hear people discuss how beautiful that parcel is, and I have never noticed. That's probably because 99 percent of the time when I'm in an automobile, I'm driving, and I like to focus on driving. In that part of town at certain times of the day, I focus on surviving. I think that I have noticed a tree or two, but I did not realize it was a gem. Maybe it should be handed over to the Nature Conservancy.

Last decaded, Carty tangled with the Westgate property owner and her plans to redevelop that site. We'll never know how close it got for that whole project imploding, but I think that Westgate was a couple whiskers away from becoming an empty lot for several years, thanks to Carty.

Carty did not want Costco. He had other plans for the property that he did not own. Thankfully, the property own won. And now Carty admits to visiting Fresh Market at Westgate.
