On this site once stood the Orpheum Theater, next to it on the corner, Gray’s Papaya, and to the right of that on Third Avenue, a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop where I worked evenings a few days a week in High School.

We rented an apartment (a flat) before coming to the UK off the evidence of a video walk-through. It’s brand new construction in a complex that’s only half done, of a development we’ve come to learn has been controversial, with local opposition for years.
