Been through Marathon lately?  Remember Duck Key without the cookie-cutter Key Westy houses lining its shores?  Marathon is getting Key West-icized, and a growing number of people are alarmed at what they see.  Get ready for overcrowding and higher taxes in Marathon.  A letter-to-editor from the April 17 Key West Citizen:
Singh developments remove character from Florida Keys

Can no one stop the proliferation of the Pritam Singh pollution? His reproductions of classic Key West homes are cookie-cutter tacky with a price tag that prohibits my referencing them as cheap imitations.

The Singh blight on Key West, Stock Island and once lovely Duck Key is obvious. Now, the exposure of these cutesy picket fence places in Marathon, "heart of the Florida Keys," has ripped out that heart and white-washed Marathon's character out of existence. I'm sad, how could this have been allowed?
