More on the Wonmisan gash

I found an article from the June 26th edition of the Bucheon Herald (for some reason their website doesn't allow you to directly link to individual articles) which identifies the excavation on Wonmisan as the creation of an embankment for the extension of the Meolmoe Street (멀뫼로). These pictures tell the story as well.




Here's a map with the current location of Meolmoe Road (멀뫼길) marked in red. I can only assume that Meolmoe Street will be an upgrade of this road, which goes under the name Meolloe from Sosa Station to the intersection at Bucheon Stadium. It continues on at both ends, Southward uder the name Buil Street (부일로) and Northward as Yeowol Street, I believe. It would seem natural that this stretch of road between two streets get an upgrade.

Wonmisan unmasked

Hey Wonmisan fans. As you may or may not know, there has been a flurry of crane and bulldozer shenanigans up on the south-southwest face of old Wonmisan (원미산) in the last few months. This is not new. But last week I noticed a particularly good view of it from Holy Family Hospital (성가 병원) when I was visiting my father-in-law after his cataract surgery. The next time I went visiting I brought my camera and snapped this photo. I'm too lazy and tired to delve into the Korean internet and attempt to find out what's up, so I figured I'd post the pic and give myself a nice rest before attempting what promises to be an unrewarding slog through Daum and Naver. Anyway, enjoy.
