urban renewal

ok, so on my way to work i pass several 'construction sites'.....one in a residential neighborhood that has a mixture of large older homes, and small bungalows......and i am curious as to the nature of the building that will be going into the lot......a very small lot......it looks to be the kind of place one might locate a habitat home.....we shall see......regardless.....i am interested in the design that will go in......and hopeful that it will blend in with the surrounding structures........danville is dotted with unfortunate design choices.......styles that may have sounded progressive at the time but turned out to be mistakes...........certainly not like a f.l.wright home that glows with style amongst the aging painted ladies or similar 3 story relics of times gone by........i could find out, i suppose....through targeted inquiries...but i have not the level of interest that would prompt actual phone calls....not like my neighbor who called me at work yesterday to give me an update on her investigation of a property transfer on our circle that was recorded in sunday's newspaper.......the property transfers are one of the first things people look up....right after the obits and the court news......anyway.....there was a sizeable bank-to-bank transfer listed......and since nobody has had a for-sale sign up....we were curious....and my neighbor was so curious that she has called all over town looking for particulars.......i am in awe of her deligence.......she has promised to call with the results asap.......maybe when she finds out whose property has sold......i will mention the lot on my way to work........
