Used to take the dog to that field. Miss it. We are losing a lot of open, infill space around here, whatever one’s opinion on that.

I don’t think that was an open space. It was owned by a family who had several RVs on the property and fixed small motors. I suspect it was always private property, just a little more rural than we are used to seeing in the City. Linky.

By the way, last night on my way home, between fat raindrops and literally wiping the pollen from my eyes, I saw several folks with t-shirts and flyers walking around that land. It looks like there are cones out to represent something (where the homes will be?) and they had littered the area with signs.

Right, I meant to plot off Powhatan that Vicegrip mentioned. I don’t know if that was public space either, but folks in the neighborhood used it. It was a bit of an anachronism as well.

Was it around 7:00? I think that’s when they had a walking tour meeting scheduled.
