Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of Egypt. Maybe some will turn up.
Egypt was the name Jenny (or possibly other members of her family; I'm not sure exactly where it came from) gave to an abandoned housing development ("Chesterfield" OSLT) on Pickett Road, just opposite where Wade Road (which didn't exist until years later) comes out now.
For awhile, there were even unfinished houses on the site (Harena remembers exploring some of these, I think; will have to pick her memory for more details later), but they were gone by the early 1980s when Woozle and Jenny met there (see category:Egypt).
In 1988, residents of the adjacent neighborhood bought the property and organized a nonprofit to run it as a retirement community, The Forest at Duke. The original contours are now largely (though not entirely) obliterated.
