Tooled around that area a week ago -- pretty bleak and quite a contrast to the bright, bustling (though, even then, admittedly secluded) commercial area it was in my youth. The desolation even extends to the area of the long-gone Arlan's department store area on Union up by Constitution. In fact, my entire old neighborhood is looking pretty down at heel (the lush lawns of Jefferson Elementary School have been given over to sparse patches of weeds -- sad). But Patty Jewett Golf Course is still looking good!
