Neighbors on the 400 block of S. Pine between Albemarle & Spring Street AND the 700 block of Albemarle between S. Pine & S. Laurel Street should see no parking signs for both sides of the streets listed above for tomorrow Tuesday, June 4 from 9am-3pm for funeral services at Pine Street Baptist Church.
Looks good today and tomorrow, but we may see some sort of winter precipitation on Sunday. Now might be a good time to get leaves off sidewalks.
Albemarle Street, from Laurel Street, looking west towards Hollywood Cemetery.
Rain on the way.
The old storefront at the southwest corner of Albemarle and Laurel is for sale. It was turned into a residence but I think many neighbors would be interested in seeing turned back into a small business, if at all possible.
Update: I am hearing that this building may already be under contract. Laurel Street neighbor Charles Pool suppled this history from an old Oregon Hill Home Improvement Council newsletter:

Update:
Today the City implemented a proposed stop sign change plan in the neighborhood, thus changing a few traffic patterns.
Stop sign locations have been ‘switched’ or ‘flipped’ at China and Laurel, Albemarle and Laurel, China and Pine, Albemarle and Cherry.
Please alert neighbors and other drivers. As one neighbor put it:
Everybody go slow and safe for a week or so. Expect a few bumpers to be bumped but please watch out for bikes as always.
