BigV certainly has the mad skillz to take a better picture too. And a higher rez one.

BV,

You should take one from the bridge looking down towards Leary. And also from Cash & Carry. That way you can get the size of the complex she was surrounded by.

History: It used to be a dirt parking lot for dump trucks. Ridiculous. Sshe was surrounded by trash constantly and she wouldn't budge then either. She was a sort of icon for standing up for her rights. The area was always run down. I imagine that when she moved in, the area was more woods than anything.

Her house in "better" times.

If anyone has google earth here are the co-ordinates: 47°39'44.47"N 122°22'31.34"W. It's not as new as the picture in the articale but you really do get the scope as to how cramped it was.

I'll try to orient you so you can better visualize the situation. The picture in the opening post was taken facing due north.

The first picture in this post is taken from across the intersection facing southwest, looking at the northeast corner of the building. I'm due north of Cash and Carry.

The second picture is taken looking to the northwest from the middle of the block. It is the first place you can "see" the lady's property.

Approaching her house...

And we can finally see the actual structure.

BigV · 06-27-2008, 02:49 PM

It's really cramped here...

Clodfobble · 06-27-2008, 02:51 PM

Well, I bet her electricity costs went down, with all that insulation and shade around her house...

BigV · 06-27-2008, 02:54 PM

The west side of the property line, looking north. I think the white plywood wall on the right is on her property--a shield to protect from flying construction debris.

The second picture is looking upward at the eastern edge of her roof.

BigV · 06-27-2008, 03:02 PM

Still south of her house, now looking northeast. The new building just swallows hers up.

BigV · 06-27-2008, 03:07 PM

Mike's Chili Parlor still stands on the northwest corner of the block. It's a dive.

A small memorial posted on her fence.

Excellent pictures BigV! Much better coverage than the original.

It predates the construction. But it's clearly a shield of some sort (see post 18.)

BigV · 06-27-2008, 03:17 PM

You're probably right. I think it's her "fence". An opaque light colored "fence". A wall, really, to separate her property from the wasteland around her. I remember that lot before the new building was erected. The picture in post #18 is about on target. What a dump.

Nice pictures V.

What's going in that building?

HungLikeJesus · 06-27-2008, 03:25 PM

Is that what people mean when they talk about a gated community?
