I got off my bike and stood in the middle of the sidestreet to line up this shot. “Hey, camera man!

This superklassy development takes the place of a lonely Stephenson’s Rental building (more on them anon) on a lot with an enormous dropoff in elevation at the rear. You could build a fallout shelter here and a full suite of tæunhæumes.
