Comment:
The relative clause here may be an example of a bracketed (circumposed) clause with so ... so. Although the clause-final so is translated 'thus', in the second clause it might be the demonstrative, meaning 'this girl', perhaps even 'this place where the girl lived'. This final so might even be an example of the kind of stylistic repetition that characterizes the speech of some urban speakers.
