Mirage

Tony Young's Springdell mansion has now been razed (Richard Hayne bought the convicted swindler's estate to add to his Doe Run Farm), and only the portion of the house closest to Thouron Road remains. Mr. Hayne has told the township that he plans to replace the mansion with a personal fitness center.

I drove past the site on Monday afternoon and it's as if Mr. Young's grand mansion, which was built less than 10 years ago, had never even been there.
In other Doe Run Farm news, I had hoped to give you a lively account of the latest cheese-processing hearing, but it was cancelled. Yes, for the second time. No reason for the delay was given by Mr. Hayne's representatives and no new date was set.
Mr. Hayne is seeking West Marlborough Township's permission to make cheese and process tomatoes at the farm. For months, however, he has been making cheese there and selling it at his Terrain store (he is the founder of the Urban Outfitters empire) and at local farmer's markets.
