Building Down

This neighborhood has been around since the late 1800s, and I expect a few things to need repair. A few weeks ago, a building on Fulham Road collapsed – it just gave up! It was part of a row of abandoned buildings that were being remodeled. Thank goodness it was empty at the time. Like a Jewish mother sending a child on guilt trip, you can almost hear the other buildings say, “For this I survived the bombs of World War II?”

 

This mini disaster has closed a block of Fulham Road, thus diverting two of my favorite “go to work buses”. Now, instead of running along Fulham Road, they now pass in front of our Redcliffe Gardnes flat. Depending on the road conditions and the mood of the bus driver, sometimes they stop for us, and sometimes they don’t.
