I know that empty lots are probably very boring to a lot of people, but I honestly think it’s a lot of fun poking around them. Some of the most dramatic historical changes I’ve seen have occurred in formerly empty lots, and this lot is a great example.

A nice stopping point to take a look around if you’re on a walk.
