18TH STREET. This route gets a little crazy since NW 18th is, too (in the Shartel area where it bends to the south), and since the route also passes by Mesta Park between Lee and Shartel. Driving east from Western, you cannot continue eastbound at Shartel … instead, NW 18th veers to the south at the “Shartel bend” in the road. Generally, the route shown below runs west from Walker to Western.

SHARTEL. Before doing NW 19th, I’ll divert the tour and have a look along NW 18th at the “Shartel bend” … where NW 18th turns south onto and for practical purposes becomes Shartel, and then have a look at Mesta Park. First, the NW 18th & Shartel “bend” …

MESTA PARK. Mesta Park is the result of a request by the Mesta Park Neighborhood Association requesting, in 1975, that the remaining structures in the block shown below be declared “surplus” by the City so that the area could be converted into a park … “Mesta Park.” The aerial view from the County Assessor’s website shows the area and general layout … followed by views from within the park …
