Fantastic. As a kid Bev Doolittle was one of my inspirations to become an artist.

I would bet that the AC bill is over $5k a month during the summer… probably WAY over.

This is very sad.

Beverly built the house so she could be near her dad. But he passed before the house was completed.

That place is epic.
I'd be freeballin around with my acoustic and like, a pack of 20 chihuahuas.

I'd also have sharks with laser beams and stuff.

It would be a nice upgrade over The Pit, but I don't think the AAC will spring for it. :-)
Not as cool as the Cohn property, though.

What's "freeballin", Jefe? It sounds like something to do with sex. I just can't see you getting it on with a pack of chihuahuas.

Trippy looking. It's kind of an odd structure though. It is set in a place to take advantage of its environment but seems so focused on the structure looking funky that it seems to shut out that terrific setting.

i watched them build that frickin thing. it has an elevator in it.

it ganked a couple of minor but good bouldering areas that i used to work out at. i spent a lot out time in that quad during the closure in the 90s.

i hope the local tweakers blow it up.
