My rotten tree baby will be a year on September 26 & yes, the damn thing has said average resolution time of 56 days the entire time. It’s still dropping limbs, but at least it no longer has a cerebellum growing out of it.

I have a Master’s in Child Development. Toddlers are much more dangerous, & their teeth sharper.

I don’t think it is, alas. I never posted because a toddler yelled BOO as I was taking the pictures & my resultant loss of dignity has tainted my memories of the building. I’ll see if I can find it.

Oooh… I’ve got a Damen Ave Bein somewhere in my camera roll. I should post it.

I have legit paged through 140+ Mature Camrys, laughing maniacally every time I *don’t* see my parent’s car. One of the small pleasures in life.

I’ve been thinking about returning myself, mostly because I’m weirdly gleeful that @sorenspicknall.bsky.social has not yet discovered my parent’s Mature Camry though it lives within a mile of his house

I don’t remember if I turned up anything on the people that lived there, but it was designed in 1947 by architect Harold Edward Anderson, the same guy that did the comparatively new row houses built in north Pullman when additional housing was needed for workers building ships & planes for WWII.

We love to see it! And I’m especially happy to see North Pullman repped.

I left my fam sitting at Ben’s Chili Bowl (originally a Nickelodeon) & embarked on a self created walking tour. There are at least 2 other old theaters, & a ton of early Duke Ellington & other Black history spots all within walking distance of Ben’s.

I have heard some heartbreaking stories out of Roseland. People think they’re getting a lovely home because of the surface shine, but are then unexpectedly thrust into a never-ending cycle of impossibly expensive repairs.
