2551 Baker Street |
Since the mid-1980s,
Perestroika,
and the fall of the Soviet Union, a number of changes have taken place
in the area around the Russian consulate
at the corner of Green and Baker Streets. A shuttle bus now occupies the space
long held by a Secret Service sedan. Spy houses, which locals say literally
buzzed with American surveillance equipment, were closed at 2551 Baker and
2795 Green. But a recent change, at
this writing in 2002, startled even longtime neighbors: the first appearance
of open windows at the consulate! |
