The Odd House on 3rd Avenue!

Michael Alexander · October 28, 2009, 06:14:32 PM

I always thought that this house in 3rd avenue was out of place, if you travel from 5th avenue south towards 1st avenue..... the road "detours" or bends around this house..... why on earth did the town planners back in the day build the house here and not let the road just go straight .......

Just curious about it....

I know why I know why
The guys coming home from the bar, it's a natural thing for tipsie drivers to do that kind of curve in the road so to prevent any accidents they built the road the same way

Michael Alexander · October 29, 2009, 07:35:22 PM

When you loose a body part you find another way to do things 20 yrs ago it took me 30min to get dressed, I'm sure today I will give anybody a run for there money maybe we should have a competition in front of Spar if Mike A would allow it

Alf calls me for a call out... has a bath, gets dressed and honks the hooter outside my back gate; and I'm still tying my laces...!

He's fast... any challengers?
