Belle Vera Condos on 21st

Where is Bella Vera?  It’s behind the brick commercial / condo building next to the 21st Street Bridge.  Did you know there was enough space behind that building for a condo project?  Neither did we…  Right now it’s mostly a cleared hillside.  Anybody have any details?

Here’s a night photo of the project sign.

    In 1969, the Foremost Dairy company launched a contest looking for catchy phrases or slogans. As prizes, they were giving away decorated milk cans. Being a smart alec high school senior, I entered the following:
    “I live in the city. Last week I learned what a cow was. What’s a milk can?” Shortly after submitting my entry, I received a box at my house. It contained an old milk can painted in Foremost orange and deocrated with a 60’s floral design. I still have that can. Only thing I’ve ever won, I think.
