March 5, 2014…SPECIAL REPORT to the BLUE PAPER

 
 

pandas redux

People were not the only ones that were evicted when the Simonton Street Trailer Park was sold to developers….living in close harmony for generations with the park occupants was a colony of Pandas. In this photo from my archives that I shot for Solares Hill Newspaper in 1987, you can see two adults in the foreground (one up a tree) and several babies frolicking in the background.

They lived happily on the Bamboo stands that were scattered through the park, and the little ones would often lie down with cranky Park babies until they fell asleep.

But here is the Park today…

No trees, no Bamboo, and no friends for the Pandas. They’ve been seen Pandahandling for food on Truman, sleeping in doorways, and causing traffic jams. Just a matter of time before there is an accident. Although they are vegetarians, there have been reports of some of the desperate ones chasing chickens.

The city commissioners had scheduled a special meeting to discuss the problem, but the issue was tabled indefinitely.

    I was watching the crew crush and stuff into dumpsters the old moblie homes there.
    I felt sad knowing how this mobile home park has provided affordable housing for so many people over the years.
