in case anyone is interested, I snapped a few photos post-cleanup. I wish I would have gotten a few pre-cleanup, but alas I was lazy.

Pretty huh?

Tagging doesn't take long in Oly

I wonder if it runs?

And in case anyone is curious, this is what it looks like across the road.

Night and day imo. Although the white picket fence needs fixed. I'm not sure what the story is there, drunk driver maybe?

Lots of Grafitti too...

 Looks like it would be a nice place if the junkyards and taggers could leave...

Life's a reach, then you jibe.

I just want to set the record straight on the damaged fence at the entrance to Cedrona & Hidden Ridge.

My next door neighbors, who own Mini Saigon downtown, are in the process of repairing the damaged fence after their elderly mother decided to allow a school bus the right of way to go and hit the gas instead of the brakes and wrecked into the fence.  She was not hurt but extremely shaken up.  They feel horrible about the damage and are working diligently with the Cedrona and Hidden Ridge HOA's to repair it as soon as possible with the right materials. They are very nice people and neighbors who we have a close relationship with. Some of them don't speak or understand english very well and they come to use to help them navigate issues they need help with or don't understand.

Sorry to burst the drunk driver theory but it was just a case of an elderly driver doing what she felt was a considerate thing and made a pedal mistake.

Nice pictures though!

That guy called our show in

That guy called our show in the middle of the cleanup and wanted us to go on the air with a rant for him.

We didn't.

Thanks for the update JPO

and very interesting story Merwyn. I'm kind of torn, but this guy really had a chance, many times over from what I've heard, to clean this place up. I was told by family that it's been an eyesore for years.
