More visible progress.















In these pictures, taken October 26, more signs of progress are visible. In the first picture, you can see the south parking lot which has been poured since the last posting. The photographer is standing in the soon-to-be-
built Bertner Avenue. The second photo shows the west edge of the parking lot and the excavated area (with little green flag) for the sidewalk along Cecil Street. The third picture shows the west building with gutters installed. (Don't forget that you can double-click on a picture to see a larger version.)

In other events of the past week, the asbestos team checked out Building A and finished any work they needed to do there. That building will be demolished soon. The post office boxes in that building have been abandoned and the guests are now receiving mail in newly installed boxes in Building C. The most exciting news is that on Wednesday, October 24, 300,000 guest-apartment days had been provided in our 39 years of operation!
