It was just a matter of time before the grandma house on Memorial went…but still, it’s the end of the last original, modest 1940’s homes near the park. The only other one left is the cool concrete-block number up the block.
Aww the sweet old couple who lived there for 30+ years, with their pinkish buick off Memorial finally gave in to the stucco douchebaggery brigade. The times they are a changin’ and not necessarily for the better.
14520 Briar Forest Drive is also (was also?) the address for the athletic fields for The Village School. Will the Vikings be moving elsewhere for home field advantage?
