Netanyahu heads a government comprised of a hard-line religious ultranationalist party dominated by West Bank settlers, two ultra-Orthodox parties and his nationalist Likud party.

Easthampton Historical Commission OK’s demo of 2 buildings at Tasty Top site

EASTHAMPTON — In the wake of the demolition of the former Tasty Top ice cream stand, the city’s Historical Commission grudgingly approved Wednesday night the demolition of two other “historically significant” buildings on Northampton Street. During the public hearing, Easthampton attorney Donald Abel Jr., who represents Tasty Top Development LLC, described the buildings as a “safety hazard” and said any historical significance has long since been lost. Instead, the city issued a building permit to demolish the Tasty Top building on May 3, according to Assistant City Planner Jamie Webb. The buildings are the last two on the property that was previously 103 Northampton St. They’re southwest of the former Tasty Top building. In a 4-1 vote, the commission approved the demolition of a two-story residential structure and a two-story barn at 95 Northampton St.
