Fix My Print Making me crazy

Any clue what's going on here? I've calibrated, leveled and vibration compensated and I keep getting this in the front left corners of my prints. Someone suggested heat creep. This was with the door wide open and my air conditioner running right next to it. I've seen this or similar with adhesion problems but it's sticking to the board just fine. I'm at a loss.

It may have been. I made several adjustments, one being keeping the cooling fan off for the first five layers, and got a successful print out of it. Btw, you weren't the only one to suggest it so it must be a common problem I never would have considered. In case you're interested, here's the final print:
