Elaine Ellsworth and Chris Tweedie
Good friends Chris Tweedie and Elaine Ellsworth were gracious enough to provide us with an interview reflecting the perspectives of relative newcomers to the OMI. Having come to the neighborhood just three and four years ago, both women said affordability and great views brought them to Merced Heights. But their welcome to the neighborhood was quite divergent:
Chris: I had a very good experience. My next-door neighbor, Rose Snell, welcomed us with opened arms, and the people we bought from were very, very cordial and, you know, so everything was very nice.
Elaine: Well, the first day that we owned the house, the day that escrow closed, we went over to take a look, and the windows had all been shot out by a B.B. gun.
