MY NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK PAVING PROJECT – Part 5"},"content":{"rendered":"

As I began this series of posts, I had no idea of where they were going to lead. When I finished Part 4, I felt that one-more post (Part 5) would wrap things up. As you will see as you wend your way down to the end of this Part 5, there will be a Part 6 and maybe a Part 7 and .. Does The Shadow Know?<\/p>\n

I finished MY NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK PAVING PROJECT – Part 4 with the below photos.<\/p>\n

It takes just a little bit of doing, but you can see in the first photo below that the sidewalk across the street from me is not finished at its far end.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can clearly see this unfinished end in the next two photos below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And just across the street, on my side of the street, you can see where (I think) they are going to extend the concrete sidewalk paving up this street.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we go with the latest news on the above (and other areas) of the sidewalk paving\u00a0 in my neighborhood.<\/p>\n

As you can see below, they have finished paving the above unfinished piece of the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking back at the above new sidewalk paving.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now just look across the street at that previous unfinished area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have to chuckle about the neighborhood dogs and their attraction to fresh concrete.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I walked to the far end of the above section of new sidewalk and, looking back, snapped the below photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In MY NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK PAVING PROJECT – Part 4, I posed the below question..<\/p>\n

Today’s Rhetorical Question<\/span> : Are they going to do anything about our front entrance into the building. This drop off will be difficult and very dangerous with snow and ice! That is my sit-down cane and he is very happy to be in a photo. His mission is to show you that this is quite a drop down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The below two photos will refresh your memory as to the progress that has been made at the front entrance to our building.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then one day, when I came out the door, I noticed the below activity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pieces of wood you see above and below in front of the step down are ‘forms’ for an upcoming concrete step.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And in the next two photos, you can see that they have indeed placed concrete into the above ‘forms’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

VOILA !<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This new step is a big improvement believe thee me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we are going to change scenes.<\/p>\n

The below four photos show one of two streets that I use to get to my building from the main road Peace Avenue (behind me in the first two photos below).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, these photos date-back to July of 2015 when I first moved into this neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next two photos look back towards Peace Avenue in the distance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Got it? Well at least you have some idea of how it has looked to me during my four plus years of living off-and-on in this Ulaanbaatar neighboorhood.<\/p>\n

“WHOA.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“What’s going on here?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now (above and below) we are looking up the street as we were when I began this series of photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wonder what on this good earth they are doing. Repaving the street in total?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They did not rip up the main surface of the street after all. It sure looked like they were in the above photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Was the above significant construction effort simply to improve yet another piece of sidewalk?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This series of posts have taken-on-a-life-of-their-own!<\/p>\n
