During eight years of neglect, streets caved in; tumbleweed rolled across once well-kept lawns and against the legs of curious sightseers. Golfers at Bellehurst's Los Coyotes Country Club were forced to climb over rotting piles of lumber and weed-cracked concrete slabs when they tracked errant drives into the rough...
