In My Place 062

March 3, 2026. 40.07652, -75.0833. See the updated map here. See all the blog posts here.


Shitty looking picture, on purpose, because they are building a great big clean sharp whitewashed apartment complex here, right here on this corner, next to the train station, all sparkly and new eventually, sometime in the near the future, and I want to have this documentation, right here, of this ugly little patch of land before they fix it all up and sell it to the highest bidder. I feel nothing, good or bad, about the change, except that I feel the weight of change, feel every moment that my neighborhood changes forever, I see its scars and its makeup and its extra limbs and its taut biceps and its warted nose. And I want to document the moment, right before the change, so that we can look back and say, yo, hey, remember when this shit looked like this?
