Very nice, Miss the Gp38′s.

There’s little to no security to worry about near former DOW now unlike in 2004 when I was called in for shooting in this spot (SOO leader too)

Then again the post 9/11 era people were jumpy everywhere. that didn’t really cool off until the 2010′s.

This was about 3 weeks before the invasion of the SpongeBob’s.

The crossing at Churchill is a nice spot to sit, used to get kicked out of there even after DOW closed, but yeah things have cooled off.

Churchill is a private road, so it makes sense. But they must be paying far less for security now
