Surveyors At Lawndale St. And Telephone Rd.

And how about the paintball place? It's really dumpy, like a set-up you'd see in someone's backyard where they scavenged for materials. I see a good number of people there on Saturdays, though.

It's amazing no one has brought that up!

That has to be on be one of the most "positive" venues for young people in this immediate area we have seen for years!

Sure would like to shake the hand of the folks that dreampt it up. It is kind of quirky but its the thought process that matters. Well I mean it is people shooting at each other but in a different mindset so to speak. These are the type of ideas we need for the young set. Does it ever get promoted in local papers? Should so they can get better participation.

FYI, there once was a large beautiful turn of the century white house with a big wrap around porch on this lot. Seldom would see anyone around so that means there was an elderly person inside being cared for (I hope). The home and grounds were always kept up neatly. One day we saw it being raised and set to be relocated? It was sad to see it go and mystified us as to where it ended up?

New East End mystery....

another PS... there once was a fantastic little Bakery directly across the street (still has the same canopy hanging overhead) that bakery vanished into Near East End folklore history around 1979. Was so very convenient to everyone. Out of this world cupcakes, various whipped cream and other delights.

Maybe your referring to the (former) Rosticeria Mexican Restaurant? The red brick arched one story building. Imagine will be a new eatery? It was pretty good back when it was new and soooo convenient to all of Near East End crowd. Prices were very low with good quality dining. About 8-10 years ago it closed? We knew the end was near when the prices skyrocketed and people couldnt afford. Maybe certain licenses were not renewed so they said close it.

Actually the old dilapidated bldgs next to the Dog & Cat Clinic could be removed for a good entry into the new school. two entries are better than one to this facilty in emergencies, etc.

I think he's talking about the one between the vet clinic and the arched...Yea, I'm suprised the school didn't include that piece of land...such an eye-sore.

It was a porn adult shop for a few years, short lived. There was a very creepy lady that used to stand in front. Maybe that is what frightened potential buyers or getting busted by old Marv Zindler.

We are straying...all this can go under Past Structures of EE topic. Ja!

I am talking about the 20 acres that someone was going to build housing on then pulled out....I have seen surveyors there the past few days...anyone know whats going on?

After giving it some thought and by recent events, this may be a good place for a school after all. The constant stream of traffic will highten the need for new developement, especially of retail and food establishments along Lawndale (way overdue). The bright lighting will also hopefully discourage the bad element that hangs out at the car wash across the street. There is a glimmer of hope.
