Update: I don’t know how healthy I would call this block back in 2008; I went back in 2013 and the block has been devastated. Blairmont was exposed as being a developer named Paul McKee, whose plans for redevelopment fell through years later. The building below sprouted a privacy fence in June 2015 and later advertised itself as a daycare.

Above, this is JeffVanderLou: healthy, one hundred year old houses still surviving in the heart of Blairmontland. And this is JeffVanderLou: a building no more than twenty years old that was so cheaply and awfully built that it is already abandoned.
