Some of my happiest childhood memories are of Laurelhurst Park. And of driving across 39th to my grandparents' old craftsman home on Mt. Tabor, on a drizzly evening past Peacock Lane.

I recall trick or treating at the huge mansion just between Burnside and the park. My brother always thought it was a library, it was so gorgeous.

Some family lives in Westmoreland now, and the ruination of that neighborhood is begun. I hate it. Just hate it.

I think there are some grassroots groups opposed to zoning policy. It's just time to stop it. Look what's happening to Division St.!
