The alley lot where the Micro Showcase is located was purchased by Brian in March 2012. It’s about 1/12th of an acre. The lot originally had overgrown grass, broken concrete, pooling water, garbage, illegal parking, occasional criminal activity, a dumped stolen vehicle, etc. A few pictures of the lot improvements I made (with incredible help from Tony Gilchriest on fencing, and a few other construction workers) from April 2012- Spring 2014. See photos below!
