DAY 2--OF THE GREAT EL CAMINO CENTER DEMOLITION
7:45 a.m.--Two workers were seen with pickaxes on the roof of the former gas station. No other activity was observed.
Say, did we mention that the El Camino Center is located in Mesa Del Mar across from a major slum and that Katrina Foley lives in Mesa del Mar and that she planted flowers in front of the slum last year but that the flowers haven't had much of an effect on the crime problems in that slum?
Now that the snow has melted at the ski resorts, Ms. Foley may have the time to take even more drastic action to stop slum problems in her neighborhood.
In fact, we wouldn't be surprised to soon see a photo in the Return to Reason Daily Pilot of Foley standing in front of the slum singing Kumbaya while collecting cans of food for earthquake victims in China.
That should certainly improve her neighborhood.

ANOTHER CONDO CONVERSION ON COOLIDGE
At its regularly scheduled meeting on 5/27, the no-Planning Commission will rule on whether or not to allow a Tri-Plex at 3028 Coolidge to be converted to condos. LINK
Many existing homeowners in Mesa North generally support such conversions--this will be the second one on Coolidge--because it is hoped that new homeowners will have pride of ownership and care about the neighborhood.
On the negative side of things is the possibility that the conversions will simply be on paper and that the units will continue to be rented out by absentee owners.
