    Thanks so much for posting this!!! I grew up on S Pine from '75-'77 when I was 9-11! Last time I went there around '02-'05 my duplex was still standing. The entire neighborhood was empty and it looked like they were trying to sell all the duplexes. Apparently whoever bought them decided to tear them down. When I was there I shot some video on my girlfriend's camera. I don't know if she knows where the tapes are so It's really nice to see that you put this up here!!! Wonder what the plans for the neighborhood is?

    It's sad - they leave possibly historic places standing 2000 years in Europe, and most of ours don't last 200.
