Overton South is being replaced, temporarily, by some new photos taken this past weekend with my cellphone. You will see scenes of destruction, the wrecking ball kind, as the 18th & K building, former home of the Doll House Cafe is destroyed to make room for something new, like, maybe, a parking lot...
Goodbye, 18th and K Building. My wife and I have good memories of this place.
And from the same location...
Record high temperatures for the date, set over the last few days. Feels great!
My wife took most of these photos. We went to an estate sale today and I found her a nice pair of binoculars. Now we each have binoculars and we can stargaze together. Hers are easier to focus than mine. But now for the photos:
These were all taken at the same location.
From the scene of that fire we went to the South Overton neighborhood and found some interesting sights. My wife took most of the following pictures...
This was once an Episcopal Church. Then it became part of the YMCA. I used to play chess there, when the chess club met there on Saturday morning. It appears to be abandoned now. It has been in this state for a very long time.
This was once a solid, lower middle class working person's neighborhood but it has gone downhill over the years, and there is some evidence of gang activity. I'm not sure I'd want to live in this area.
