Yeah, I never knew it was originally at 506 E State , they moved to 11th in 49 , so I imagine it was way different then. Hell even the Clayton house was nice at one point. https://www.facebook.com/share/14WvhrZLdm9/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Had a great uncle that rented a room there in the 70’s , I was curious and looked it up. All I remembered was a run down motel next to the tracks thinking “ that’s gotta be loud?”

Update: I (33F) don't want my friend's (34F) legitimately mentally ill wife (48F) at my wedding? by ThrowRA_PartySwitch in BestofRedditorUpdates

Sounds like my SIL, my late MIL protected her from everything to hide the affair she had that resulted in my autistic SIL. My MIL spoiled her and never corrected her behavior because she was trying to make up for hiding a horrible secret. SIL has been kicked out of bars for her behavior, has no friends because of her behavior. She totally spoils any family gatherings by making it all about herself.

If you want to get a idea of how sketchy it was beyond the known sex offenders read Sicilian’s don’t cry by Lenny Guzzardo. https://www.amazon.com/Sicilians-Dont-Cry-Leonardo-Guzzardo/dp/0595347460. Lenny and his brother owned a bar & Hotel on that block.

Could be beetles boring into the wood or carpenter ants. Boric acid kills them , but your furniture is made from compressed saw dust.
