A View from the EastsideSubmitted by Amanda Fritz on March 3, 2008 - 8:53am.
 Can anyone identify where this was taken? Read "buried". To my knowledge, my Mom was never bured. If your Mom was bured, you might have been the last to know it, Dave. Close, but not quite correct for the location. What a wonderful picture of the pallet of nature in that wonderful resource we have so close to home. I could never quite understand why we spent millions "recreating" a wetland in the Pearl and hundreds of thousands a year operating it while the folks stocked it with goldfish, when we had the real treasure we could walk to on the green way. No fair! Oaks Bottom is what the mausoleum overlooks. I want at least a half credit :) Correction noted, thanks. Now you mention it, I should have made that connection, because Steve took several photographs of the mausoleum, too. Sorry I didn't figure it out. As always, the prize is a free trip to City Council, to sit waiting for two hours to give your three minutes of testimony. I'm not sure what a half credit on that works out to ;) Drawing on the wisdom of W.C. Fields: A trip to Philadelphia City Council. a pallet of nature is not a pretty site |
I might be wrong, but that looks a lot like the view from the Sellwood mausoleum, where my Mom is bured.
