In an article that reads like a short story, we learn squatters hang out under a blue tarp in Chestnut Park. They are known for their outrageous parties. The police responded to calls about them 165 times in the last 18 months. They claim to be guests of Granny Warren.
The Town of Waynesville wants to evict them for trespassing, but that required a title search. One remaining heir was discovered, and representatives from the town hope to negotiate a sale before she dies so they can turn the squatters’ palace into a pocket park.
