Angela Stonebraker This is for Daniel Goldstein. In 1992, my home and property was taken along with one hundred and ten other homes under eminent domain, in Fort Myers Florida, to enable the city to put in a spring training stadium for the Boston Red Sox. Severe abuse was used in this process, Railroaded. Please contact me. Odessaday@aol.com.
