arisegundo Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The area in question The other day I was driving around exploring the neighborhood near the old Jeff Davis Hospital. An errant turn took me onto Dart Street, which curves around, ducks under I-45, and becomes the tail end of Girard. I pulled into the dead end to find a few warehouse-looking buildings, and a man standing in front of them giving me a dirty look. Does anyone know what the heck is here, in the heart of the city but so isolated from it?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1976 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I believe that is some sort of Homeless Center or a poor man's YMCA.If I'm reading that right, I think it's some sort of nonprofit agency. I drove back there once to get a better look at the post office and for curiousity's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I stumbled on that place while bike riding. The cool thing is that it is almost like a green urban island, cut off from the rest of the city by freeway ramps and the railroad tracks.

"Harmony House broke ground on a new dormitory-style facility next door to the Harmony House Residence that will add an additional 128 beds for working homeless men as well as an expanded Open Access Clinic and other amenities to ensure independence and success to the clients who call Harmony House Home. The expected completion date of this project is February 2022." http://harmonyhouse.org/about-2/ 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
