The 75 and 80 Dragstrip in Monrovia, Maryland closed it's doors after 45 years. It was sold for several million to a developer to put up to 1600 homes. Urbanism wins.
It is sad to see your drag strip go but, what a great shot of it. Keep it for memories. Progress is sometimes a sad thing. Downtown Saint Paul's river bank is now lined with condo's and apartment buildings. All appeared in the last 3 years. Yuck.
