Or because 111th and onward use to be literally on the 'other side of the tracks'. The little dip in the road as you mention use to me a dip underneath a rail bridge that connected the High Level to the rail yard right where the Save On plaza now sits.

Seriously.

Variations on the colour of sh!t should not be acceptable in any city.

They were shoring along the southern property line 3-4 weeks ago.
