A street view of the location shows the location to be relatively clear, aside from the five existing trees. There is a copious amount of dead grass towards the back (southeastern) area of the site. Behind the location is a law firm, and a bit down the road is a popular tourist spot, the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop. Taken from Google Maps using Street View.
