In all the years (nine, to be precise) that I’ve been walking this stretch of the W&OD Trail, this is a first:
Someone has tagged the wall under the American Dream Way*
bridge.
*That street was the drive up to the headquarters of Fannie
Mae, the government-backed corporation founded in 1938 to help Americans
finance house purchases. It is now the site of a butt-ugly development of 82
three- and four-story townhouses costing more than $1M, crammed onto five acres
of what used to be a parklike setting. The developers are currently razing the
actual Fannie Mae building and parking garage to make way for a zillion more
townhouses. So the street name has become ironic in the extreme.
Wonder how long it’ll stay up?
