Description
I first saw this as a passenger looking down from a high freeway. Then a couple of times driving by years ago. There were no exits for several miles down the road and I never could remember the right location. I found it with a GPS. It was in an isolated, 'under the freeway' location. When I finished and was walking back to the car, a large man was slowly walking toward me on the opposite side of the street. As I turned the corner he crossed diagonally. His eyes told me mugging. I reached the car just in time and hit the door locks. When he saw that I had reached the car first, he made a slow u-turn and walked away. I'm glad I had parked close by and that I had prayed for protection that morning before leaving town for San Antonio.. It is now about four months later, the picture is gone, the blinds are in disarray. About eight months later the building was remodeled and changed completely. Moral: Shoot it when you see it!
