Burned Out

The 'mobile' home / social centre parked in the Meteor forecourt has been gutted by fire, and the remains scattered about, sometime over the last few days. That's sad, since it seemed like a pretty stable alternative to the Lych Gate.

The empty auto dealership is also looking forlorn. It seems to have had a break-in, and is in the first stages of neglect+vandalism. Graffiti and a bit of damage visible through the windows.

Where's the initiative to do something with this place?

Thanks for the comment. And the link.

This blog, like the van, has become a relic parked in cyberspace. Until someone comes along to get it moving again.

I had a quick look at TrafRd, and am curious as to what you mean by cooperative ethos. I spent some 20 years living in cooperative and shared houses, spent a bit of time looking at co-housing schemes in Denmark, and occasionally wonder why there seem to be so few cooperatives in Birmingham.
