04-03-09


We did another neighborhood walk this evening.
This building, the Blackstone Apartments, is on the list of Local Historic Places.

Why it's noteworthy to me:

- I love old buildings and this is a nice one.
- The apartments are managed by the Longview Housing Authority, where Bruce is on the board of commissioners.
- This low income housing is where little Stacy and her parents would have been placed if they had moved to Longview.
