    I actually pass this place quite a bit when I visit my mother. Very sad and I often wander about going inside. Thing is the area is not very nice. So never done anything about it.

    I scouted the perimeter of this place. I believe it's occupied. Theres vehicles and clothes lines being used around back.

    Someone has lived in it for several years (upstairs) I drive past it about 3 times a week and the curtains open/close as does the window.
