I've driven by that space a thousand times. I can't visualize what was there. Nice job with that space to all those involved.

Thanks Joel, I'll tell the others who are involved. A long, long time ago it was a dump, then a parking lot in the '60s?  and most recently just an empty lot fenced and owned by UDAC.  They use the space for fire drills.
