Oh.. you hear that all the time... going to dye my self purple and move into the village.. there was this guy there ..years ago.. adam purple... he'd get purple all over and bike about.. lets see if there's a google hit on him.. yes... Adam purple started a comunity garden.. well it was his and he had comunity help.. I guess.. it was eventually taken back by the owners and developed... I think he was allowed to move to start a new one iif he wished..
this was his squatters garden ... as you can see it was a demolishing area then... now all clean with many thousands a month for apt rents.. I lived near there abour 6 year before the garden.. I had 27 room apartment with a rent of $27.00 / mo... well really the $27 was for 3 rooms... but when other apartments were abandoned.. I'd pad lock the doors to keep the riff raff out.. and incorporate it into the realm.. mostly found art material storage and studio
