Ah okay. 20 years out it seemed like SSG was perfectly healthy right up until it wasn't but I totally get the abandonment issue. Good thing we've never dealt with that again, amirite?!

Photo of the Day 2005 style.... so it's been exactly 20 years since I started college at Berklee and concurrently got a digital camera. It also represents my move from NY to Massachusetts and my first experience living in an apartment and a true urban environment. On top of all that, I had...

Friday 2/14.... it was so windy I couldn't take it up the full 400 feet
