This building has been there since the mid-50s and is your typical windowless telco-functional design. To the side there is a large parking lot. This last week, they have put a fence around the whole compound with motorized gates (not parking lot arms, but full gates) at the parking lot entrances. The appearance of the project would lead one to suspect that they are preparing for some seige. This is a quiet, residential neighorhood, fairly upscale, and not a place where anyone would suspect that there would be a phyical security problem. In twenty-two years, I have yet to have anything, car or house, broken into. Anybody have any clue as to why Pac*Bell would suddenly become paranoid? John Higdon | P. O.
