Those houses overlooking the escarpment? I think they were just outside the disputed land, so maybe they didn’t have to go?

I think that was Hubalta just mentioned in an earlier comment and a search shows no mention of such a thing in Lynnview.

Hubalta? Oh yeah, forgot about that mess!

Thank you, but don’t sweat it either. We’re indifferent to outside publishing at the moment.

We didn’t see any deformed trees or three-eyed squirrels, so everthing’s good! Nature has a way, that’s for sure.

We don’t know, but I suspect the story goes far deeper than any of us know. It’s just stinks.

It’s both sad and creepy.

Property values soared for those who stayed the course when I last visited the area.

That’s so kind of you to say. Thank you! Yes, we’re certain there was some shady dealings going on here.

Your descriptions and photos are beautifully doneā€¦I can almost imagine myself being there.
Itā€™s so sad that this particular community was ripped away from the residents, especially knowing the builders of it knew contamination was present.
Please keep up the good work!

Laura that’s some high praise and for that we thank you! We always thought are own work the epitome of internet “chum”, but we’ll take it!

Iā€™m glad you had a follow-up visit, your original post was such a big one! Bittersweet, 7 years older, but nothing has changed on that land except some more growth and some more details forgotten.

Iā€™m glad youā€™re inviting your readers to go visit, itā€™s my favourite place in the city to walk and wonder.
