Richard Gizbert posts are about a spot I call the Listening Post. A spot that has been so dear to me in the concrete jungle that is Nairobi. A spot that was a vast field of nothingness when I chanced upon it. I have been tracking its disappearance as developers, notably GreenSpan Investments put up multi-million malls and apartments in 'my' space.
I was there recently and found them putting up what appeared to be a store* in the remaining space where I had been boxed into. A store from where the rest of the Listening Post will be taken away from me. A store from where the building of structures in the remaining area of 'my' space will be managed.
All I (a squatter) can do is document.

| 2013. This small house in the foreground is the Store* mentioned in this post, its position is marked by a red star in the 3rd picture above. I know it will be a matter of time before all the space left is gone. With God's blessing, I will be around to capture the fall of the remainder of my Chill Spot |
