I'm not quite sure when the move was, though I posit 2010 as a guess, but it's been long enough for the shrubbery to grow a bit, and a few limbs to fall in the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>I was rather surprised when I drove back in there to find that there is no cut-through to Fairlane Drive and the stoplight there, which would make southbound access easier.  Google maps suggests there is a stream paralleling Fairlane which separates this lot from that street.  I'm guessing it would be behind the storage shed.<\/p>\n<p><i>Burkett, Burkett & Burkett<\/i> have moved to an impressive new building just a bit North and on the other side of the street at 3101 Sunset Boulevard:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/11\/10\/p1260171.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/11\/10\/p1260171_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/11\/10\/p1260172.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/11\/10\/p1260172_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/11\/10\/p1260173.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/11\/10\/p1260173_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There's an old joke that goes back as far, probably as the invention of the telephone, and it goes something like this: 1: \"Hello, Burkett, Burkett &#038; Burkett\" 2: \"Yes, I'd like to speak to Mr. Burkett.\" 1: \"Sorry, he's out to lunch right now.\" 2: \"Well, then, I'd like to speak to Mr. Burkett.\" [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[186,13,374,57],"class_list":["post-4402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-accountant","tag-business","tag-sunset-boulevard","tag-west-columbia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4402\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
