Dump this

IMG_2810

How do I know this house was dumped? Well, for one, dumped is the word on the street in this part of the neighborhood. Two, the house is sitting on rails, and three, it's not exactly in the best part of Beall's Hill. In the adjacent lot sets this house:

Tell me, would you want to live next door to this? Yes? Well then don't worry, there's a rental on the next lot. You're in luck.

Do you need the number?

And if you're ever in need of some fire wood, just hop over to your neighbors. There's plenty of kindling (and optional single pink shoe).

One more look to seal the deal. Here's another view of the dumped house (taken just off the porch of the fixer-upper):

This, my friends, is my neighborhood.

no. way. wow.

When I read your last post, I assumed you meant a house-load of old clothes and shoes and stuff... I see now that it is really a HOUSE! wow. words escape me.

I may have to do a drive-by tomorrow.

Crazy, huh. The house is right on the edge of the neighborhood at Edgewood and Telfair. Pretty much everything around there is boarded up. The mayor will be at our neighborhood meeting tomorrow, and you can believe he'll hear about it.
