'Scuse me! Geographical goof!

In re-reading my missive above, I left out a couple of somewhat crucial words in the sentence, "It [Cockroach Manor] used to be at the north end of where the A. S. U. W. Bookstore is now. " This may confuse the hell out of people who currently know the area and are trying to figure out where the creaky, leaky old pile actually was.

The sentence should read, "It used to be at the north end of where the A. S. U. W. Bookstore parking lot is now. "

The University Bookstore faces on University Way (which, numerically speaking, should be 14th Avenue N. E). Cockroach Manor faced on 15th Avenue N. E., the next avenue east, and the western border of the University of Washington campus. That would be between N. E. 43rd and N. E. 45th Streets (N. E. 44th didn't cut through, so this was a long block), immediately south of where the Malloy Apartments are now. [In Seattle, "Avenues" run north and south, "Streets" run east and west]

Sorry about that.
