I’d forgotten about this, but here’s some more memories of Bernal: https://bernalwood.com/2011/09/29/susie-bright-remembers-a-life-on-bessie-street/

I left in 1993, I think, but Honey Lee stayed on in our apartment until she was evicted by flippers. I’ll never forget them for taking her home away after 30+ years. She never found another place in the City, and died without another permanent home just a few years later. What a loss.

So many old friends there. I was especially close to Kris Kovick, and Spain Rodriguez, also both passed. Jackie Mackie. Sally Gearhart, who lived next door to the L’s. What a place. Worth looking at the Wikipedia history page, I posted above.
