Mrs. Claywell

An email:

I am a new rentor in the heights and enjoy this place quite a bit.

About twelve years back my children's father and I owned a home on the 300 blk of Idlewild east. Wondering if any one there can tell me what has happend to Mrs. Claywell's home and when did she pass on. She was quite older when I resided there . I am sure she is now deceased.
I missed my old house and often have gone by to see its changes. The old neighborhood is changing I see.

The auto dealership > I actually worked there for two weeks!> still runs up and down the streets for its "test outs" . But all in all this area continues to be a beautiful place and I for one totally love the atmosphere and the peoples.
