624 Mill Street. Have you taken a good look at it? The home of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, it crouches like a filthy rodent behind the new fire station and fronts on Thomas Basin. Thousands of tourists stroll by it every day during the cruise season. You can see it clearly from the dining room of Cape Fox, and it's not a pretty sight.

I have two words: power wash. Or is the federal government going to let it deteriorate until it looks like the Knickerbocker? It s comforting to know the government is spending our tax dollars wisely.
