banks foreclosed since owners couldn't afford to rebuild and artists/gays/musicians moved in

i live in the area in a 1910 victorian that was a crack house 8 years ago

Thanks CS. All is well with us and my family. All of the bad stuff stayed south of us. OH told me we did lose power temporarily, but I wasn't aware of it. I did go ahead and get myself out of bed at 1am cuz when it hit, I couldn't sleep through it! I'm positively dragging at work today!
