I had thought that the Blair House was the beautiful home below the old high school in the first photo that you posted, August 2010. I went up the hill on the opposite side hoping for a panorama similar to the one the photo had captured. Yes, there are beautiful old homes up there. Being on foot and peering between them in search of the old high school site is mighty suspicious behavior as far as neighborhood-watch is concerned. A few folks approached me from those beautiful homes, but they didn’t look at all as though they were preparing for a friendly welcome. For fear of being shot, I quickly down-sloped back onto Clay.<br /><br />The 2010 photo seemed to show the concrete steps rising steeply, perpendicular to Clay—as though they were rising from around where the “For Lease” sign is now. The present photos you took, Tina, (Hey, thanks!) seemingly indicate that the steps rose at a 45 degree angle from Clay, angling away from the Blair house as they rose. I don’t know.<br /><br />Long lens compression and 100 years of changing hillside might account for my bit of confusion there. But I now have a detailed, illustrated guide to take me to the old high school steps. As Lorlore exclaimed, “Great post!!! I want to go check out those steps!!!!” And I will.<br /><br />I’ve apparently walked on the site of the old high school. Grandview Street is a favorite run-up (before hugging the flagpole near the top as I await signs that I’ll recover and remain intact and not litter earthly remains, which is exactly what such run-ups are intended to prevent, for a time—long time.)<br /><br />Is LorLore Lori? My wife’s name is Lori. She thinks it’s odd that I get excited about such things as 100-year-ago local history. She thinks it maddening when I’m truly possessed and carry on like a goof about it. (Is it treatable?)<br /><br />Hey, I’m presently trying to convince our computer that we have a new email client. It’s confused, thus our addy is not in my profile yet.<br /><br />Meantime: mtnacre “at” comcast “dot” net .... I also might try emailing instead of pinch-blogging vast wordage on your site.<br /><br />Thanks Tina, Jim (the one in Camino, but you knew that j;O))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-26564748800668422082012-04-04T20:27:24.912-07:002012-04-04T20:27:24.912-07:00Great post Tina!
