Our last flag claim of the day was Old Glory flying on top of a storage shed in
the front yard of 10639 Danbury St. This particular street is peculiar in that
it appears to be an alley, that's been converted into a small residential area
with several house having access to this alleyway.
We parked on El Monte and walked across the street. I would have had to walk
up toward the front door of a house on El Monte to score when my son pointed
out the alley. It's more of a driveway type of entrance rather than a regular
street entrance, which had me puzzled.
We got to within 96 feet away at the beginning of the driveway of 10639. There
was a storage shed that the flag appeared to be flying on top of. There was an
old Mercedes parked in front of the storage shed. 10639 is a red brick house
with a red tiled roof. The garage door was painted blue and the paint was
peeling badly on the door to the point that it really needed to be repaired.
But, sitting back in that alley, very few people would ever see it.
