Part of the history of South Park. It might be time to demo what is left of this house and move forward. There is a view of the Duwamish River from this lot, but most of the land on this side of the street are commercial. Very odd neighborhood. I lived here with my family prior to starting school. I must have been @ 4 years old when we lived in South Park. I remember, in the mid-1950’s, walking to the banks of the river with a stick with a piece of string attached on the end thinking I would go fishing. Somewhere there is even a photo of myself and my long deceased cousin Bob standing on a log on the bank of the river with our homemade fishing poles. It seems unmanageable today to imagine a parent allowing a 4 year old to walk a couple of blocks to play in/near a very polluted river. Those were very different times.

Waste or New Art?
A rock along the Duwamish River seemed to be partially shrunk-wrapped. I was not sure whether to view it as waste or art. Any ideas?
Progress

The place where the back hoe is parked used to be a white house where a lawyer’s offices were located for many years. The image of the wreckage of a commercial building is what used to be Bank of America, on Broadway. From what I understand they had a lot of trouble destroying the vault, which is comforting. I think many people will think this is a fitting end to a Bank of America facility.
Stone Ground Mills
Located at 26th and Yancy in Seattle, the sad remains of Stone Ground Mills. Looks like the company owners just walked away one day.
