A few more "unnamed" reader comments about Sunrise...
Comment 1:
Steve, FYI here are a few interesting websites about how Sunrise Senior Living:
-
Story 1: Fought back against a community that tried to prevent it from building and won (would they also do that to Shorewood)? In part because precedents had already been set.
-
Story 2: Abandoned their plans and allowed someone else to come in and take over after the building was built (a concern that has been raised before)
-
Story 3: An interesting blog dialogue that includes the public and workers from within Sunrise.
This company is so against what I feel Shorewood stands for - they don't care about the village.
Comment 2:
Why did I find this so funny....and relevant?

Comment 3:
What I have been reading, that you have sent me, is scary. I feel Shorewood is going too fast to change what is a truly great place to live. I am quite upset with the people who don't seem to care about keeping Shorewood a great residential place to live, located near everything.
Now they want to add senor citizen housing. If they do, it better be like Catholic Home or Bradford Terrace, not like the ones (River Park) on Oakland . Everyone that lives in Shorewood pays a hell of a lot of money on taxes, their homes, upkeep...the list goes on... I don't understand why Shorewood does not look at doing things more upscale.
I am ok with change, but not an uproar of it. The village must think of the quality of living and their residents' residences first...
