I drive by Chestnut Hill village several times a week. Last week, I was taken completely by surprise when I saw that the bricks of the apartment complex were being painted a very ugly gray. I walked by the buildings this week and noticed that the brick appears to be in good shape. Once the brick gets painted, the upkeep in repainting them as the color fades is enormous. The owners have taken a well-kept, charming complex and cheapened it by painting it that ugly gray, making it an eyesore. It is upsetting to see natural building products so wantonly destroyed.
