The Kmart Dirt Mounds

Source: AREIS.

Back in the ’80s there was a small cluster of dirt mounds behind the Kmart at 5956 Central Avenue. Perhaps about five to ten of them, about four or five feet high and maybe ten feet in diameter. Over the years vegetation and small trees grew on them.

Historical aerial images show those mounds were created when Ted’s Pure Oil was being remodeled as TST in 1980.
