Meanwhile, on 12th Street ...

The oversized Key Food awning goes up, & the fire damaged house next to it looks much as it has done for the last two years.

Further up the block, 314, on which construction began five years ago, is still empty.  What a vision of shoddy disharmony. Recently some men with a hose appeared, to drain water from the third floor roof, & to patch up leaking windows. The "guard dog" a sign on the door warns of has never so much as whimpered.
