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! |
