Letter: The urbanization of the North Fork?

To the Editor:

I am very concerned about two stories in the recent edition of The Suffolk Times: the potential loss of Sacred Heart Church and the new convenience store on Cox Lane.

Both will contribute to the creeping suburbanization of the North Fork.

When will we as a community take a stand and put a stop to this ever more rapid loss of the personality of our area? Have we lost site of what a unique place the North Fork is? Have we just accepted the inevitabilty of development?
