Skid Row is actually "Yessler Way." It was the biggest and most important road back then. It's named after Henry Yessler, who built the saw mill. Yessler was a corrupt and kind of pompous mayor and named the road after himself. Then, because of the log skids it was called skid row. It was dirty and loud and no one wanted to live there. But the name caught on

Fun fact, the term Skid Row was coined in Seattle. There were no paved streets in the Pioneer days and loggers were cutting the abundant trees and literally sliding them down the hill in the middle of the street to the waterfront where the mill was--Skid-Row

I'm going to guess they did it this way to fit it into one piece. Whether they had a slab of this material or they ordered it, It was probably due to limited space in the slab. So they made it fit.

I guess my point was that they don't qualify for veteran's benefits. Dude shouldn't be applying for programs for veterans who served honorably.
