Well,
Taco Bell has been open in Lorain now for several weeks, and appears to be doing a brisk business on Oberlin Avenue (
above).
It was only about a year ago that the same location looked like this (
below).
Out on Colorado Avenue in Shefffield, the new
Dollar General is now open as well. It's a nice looking building, but it seems out of place in that church and cemetery setting to me.
Here's the view from last Saturday morning (
below).
And here's roughly the same view from last February (
below). You can barely see the Root house hidden behind the trees.
By George, these development companies didn't waste any time getting their new buildings up!
I suspect that both of these "before" views will be quickly forgotten.
I'm still glad I was able to participate in Dr. Charles Herdendorf's "guerilla archeology" team's
visit to the house.
