Description:
This is a color photograph of a mound under a plastic sheet with a sign staked on top reading
'Karen's Mud baths 50c'. It is top soil removed from the gas station and saved on the site of existing Village Green I. The dirt was temporally located there so the gasoline contaminated soil below could be removed and replaced with clean soil. The sign is making fun of the fact Karen Garret lived in the little white house with blue trim shown in behind. There are trees surrounding the empty lot in the background.
