The Post's Jonathan O'Connell has posted a story today detailing the rise and fall of Monument Realty on Half Street--how the company snapped up parcel after parcel of land just north of the ballpark footprint during 2004 and 2005, how they spared no expense to market their holdings, and how just as they dug the hole for the residential portion of their project, the economy collapsed, taking with it Lehman Brothers, their big financial backer. You may recognize some of the photos accompanying the piece, and I also cop to being the owner of all of the "swag" displayed in the article, thanks to attending various Monument shindigs over the years, and thanks also to being an unrepentant pack rat. I spent years holding onto t-shirts, brochures, and even trading cards all because "someday someone might want to see them." And that someday is today!

In other news, I made a pretty big update on the site today (two of them, actually). See if you can figure out where, before I tell the world.
Hint: It was SORELY needed. DESPERATELY. EMBARRASSINGLY.

Where did all the trees come from? Did Monument plant them?
JD says: (10/14/14 11:26 AM)
I think all the greenery is just "volunteer." Must have been the fill dirt they trucked in when they shored up the walls with some extra dirt in 2010ish.
George VII says: (10/14/14 5:00 PM)
I am suggesting this parcel be referred to as Monument Valley. It has a bit more class than the hole just north of the ballpark.

The proposed test boring depths will be 85 feet below the existing ground surface. If a confining unit is encountered, outer casing will be installed which will extend 10 feet into the top of the confining unit or to the top of bedrock.
