Mostly really clean, following the removal of the floor by the Trinity men’s wrestling team.
I spent the day with Jonathan Clark today. We were creating new videos for his walking tour, which I’ll hope to edit and post before the end of the year. Jonathan has been a longstanding tour guide for NINA, starting back before COVID, when we used to do these tours in person.
His walking tour always included a stop at his house, 102 Huntington Street, where he lived for 44 years, until he donated his house to NINA. Today the stop was a bit more nostalgic for him, as he had an opportunity to see the work NINA has done to date.
Their painting tent and spray painter. Fresh Start has grown remarkably since it first began, and their website is worth a look if you’re in the market for wood products.
The front porch is being framed. No work yet on the back deck, but photos are included for the perspective on the back door and the former basement door.
Someone shot up the back windows of Veeder Place, probably over the weekend but maybe yesterday? I heard this through the grapevine in the building, and it wasn’t entirely clear to me when it happened. The police were called, and they came out to investigate. I’ll post updates as I hear them.
The bullets struck the windows on the second floor, where Our Piece of the Pie has its offices and classrooms, as well as on the first floor, where Fresh Start Worx has its offices.
The photos alternate between perspective photos, to show where the bullets struck, and close up photos, to show the damage done by the bullets. They work their way down from east (closest to Garden Street) to west.
One of the two elevators – three, if you count the cargo elevator, which I don’t – at Veeder Place was out today. Tenants get used to things going wrong here, whether it’s the elevator (neither have apparently been inspected in years), various leaks around the building, or the bathrooms (don’t get me started). Still, inured or numb as we may be to all of it, it still counts as a bad day as Veeder Place.
Of course, that was before I heard about the terrifying thing that happened at Veeder Place yesterday or maybe over the weekend ….
