Corner of 73rd and MacArthur
As of Friday morning the NE corner of 73rd and MacArthur was a Kingdom Builders Christian Fellowship – a church; and a SE corner a Cash Advance place advertising that it accepts bitcoin. The church did not actually look much like one, though I missed that clue for a good 6 months. At the back of the parking lot and at the corner of the building the tall banner-on-a-stick signs covered by a barely see through black drape read ‘Washington Mutual’. That’s WaMu, one of the baddest subprime dealers and one of the biggest banks to fold in 2009.
As of Sunday evening the bank, I mean the Church is still there. The cash advance place burned most of Friday night down to a shell with a conveniently nearby fire station hosing it down with two trucks for hours. Gone as well is the insidious Habbas and Associates ad which not long ago took place of a sign pleading for leads in the murder of a young white Berkeley grad.
