Is that built up now? Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s the neighborhood kids (including myself) would play there and ride our bikes through there (as well as in Aspirin Gardens, Kilpauk Gardens and Mandapam Road). Mr. Damodaramurthy and his family used to live on the second house from New Avadi Road on the South side.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943354182607187809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14029197.post-13343179484395922142008-06-25T08:54:00.000+05:302008-06-25T08:54:00.000+05:30Correction: Appavoo and Appavoo Avenue.

I went off to college and my parents moved to Bangalore. They sold the house in the late 80's. It was the 5th house from New Avadi Road on the South side.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943354182607187809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14029197.post-65760430470287840452008-01-29T14:45:00.000+05:302008-01-29T14:45:00.000+05:30No. I wasnt there but a close friend was.
