It’s a design by some bozo out of Boston and looks like some sort of up selling real estate post modern fever dream.

Everyone else in town HATES it. Completely clashes with the architectural style of the rest of downtown and adds more unaffordable apartments.

It’s absolutely hideous and looks like a fish tank.

Doing dangerous and unnecessary things safely is all a part of the human condition. The act in which you condemn has been done since the invention of alcohol itself. I've seen more people turned off by alcohol drinking as teenagers than I have addict lost to it.
Not so kindly and without out any respect, because none is due, get a life.
Well, sir, it appears to me that you are no better at judging human beings than you are a specimen of one and I shall bid you adieu.

Dude right now it's an ugly 1950s one story building that's the most out of place building in downtown and has a negative impact on the overall feeling of enclosure and sense of place. One modern building in the entire town is not a bad thing.

I have no idea if you're being sarcastic or not, but that building is repulsive at a visceral level. Architecture like that is designed to make people feel alienated, uncomfortable, and adrift. Inshallah, it will not be built.

It's probably not going to happen as they originally planned. They released this just prior to the start of the pandemic, and since then the construction costs have skyrocketed. As far as I know, they haven't announced any updated plans.

National Van lines held our stuff hostage for months because they couldn't get a truck driver. A good portion of our stuff was dinged or flat out smashed when we got it. The somehow managed to smash in a chest freezer. Zero stars. Do not recommend.

You're wrong on that, they do lots of miles every year and major upgrades to the plant about once a decade.
The overflows are caused by the same thing that causes increased farm runoff, stronger storms.

I am not so naive as to not understand there are certain levels of contaminants in commercial food, but that's why there are regulations for "acceptable" / safe levels of such things - and why those who go outside of those regulations should at least in theory be held liable/accountable for it, especially if someone were to get sick.
None of this changes that botulism is a thing, and that a dead animal in your foodstuffs is a serious contamination. We're not talking about a few ants or something, we're talking about a full on dead/decomposing mammal.
What corporations do also has zero baring on how you prepare and store your own food that you have harvested and processed yourself.
I don't have a problem with ignorance or rural living. People don't know what they don't know until they know it. But I definitely take some issue with people who refuse to admit they didn't know something or refuse to admit reality, entirely on the basis that admitting so would inconvenience them. Considering you've stated it's okay to admit you don't know something to someone else, I would think you'd be more open to that yourself.
You want to take these risks? Go for it. You're totally allowed if you're the only one consuming it and you aren't selling it. But when you come out in public and start advocating that there is no danger, and others could come across and read this and be misinformed by your personal desire to disregard safety? That's a problem.
You do you, but don't go advocating for willful ignorance of the severity of having dead animals in contact with your food to where other people will pick up that misinformation and potentially harm themselves in the process.

It's an art museum, BMAC. The original plan included galleries, classrooms, a cafe, apartments, etc. This was the original announcement about it.
