I hear my 1920's Bungalo homestead was torn down about 10 years ago. Anthing go up in it's place ? There used to be an old septic tank in the backyard that made a Beautiful Lemmon tree put out football sized fruit. Or at least it seemed that way to a 10 year old !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-34017442922306109652008-09-21T20:45:00.000-07:002008-09-21T20:45:00.000-07:00Hi Case,That stairwell's still there.

The back door exits were in a Deep stairwell that us kids used to drop water ballons into from our yard. Sometime a frisbee or ball would go into the dimly lit well, and we would have to be brave to retrieve it, as we were sure it was Haunted !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-10094450872579853502008-04-14T22:11:00.000-07:002008-04-14T22:11:00.000-07:00Not me, Bernie.

That place has always fascinated me.<BR/><BR/>I know La Reina, Pont Girl. That's a good re-use of a building that might otherwise have been torn down. If people don't want a theatre, maybe we can use it for something else.<BR/><BR/>Any time, Ben.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Babooshka and Ararat.<BR/><BR/>Jenny, I think that was the plan. Work started. But the "stop work" order is up and I don't know what happened. On the thread I linked to someone said the neighborhood was dicey. That's no longer true. Maybe someone will be willing to invest there.<BR/><BR/>Jules, it's lovely to have you here.
