Going Up?

            Goodbye pretty house.

Apologies if this gets a little tedious, but honestly, this place is going to be completely wiped off the map, hillside and all, so I want to document it the best that I can.

Spent time running around a neighborhood that will likely soon be completely destroyed and replaced with more student condos. Over 20 houses are due to be demolished, joining a wave of destruction that I'm not sure will ever be stopped. These houses have been student rentals for many years, but the neighborhood is incredibly unique, due to how it is built into the surrounding landscape and it's almost park-like atmosphere among the hills and valleys. A trolley stop used to be a short walk away, and city maintained steps kept everyone connected. There was little need for a car, so these houses were actually convenient when they were built.
