What is causing corners to catch the extruder head and curl up on direction change? I'm guessing extruder too close to bed? But could it be too hot bed (70), or too cold? Also, I have my fan off for first layers, should I turn it on at beginning?

Fan off if its ABS and looking at the size of that print, you probably don't need it on for PLA initially either. Also extruder is not too close to the bed - it may even be too high? Set it to 0.1mm max (A4 paper thickness) or a fraction less. Bed temp of 60C should be ok with PLA and 110C with ABS.

If you look in the reflection, you can see fingerprints on your bed. Clean it! They interfere with adherence more than I would have expected.
I also agree with waitaki that the first layer might benefit by being just a tad closer to the bed.
If neither of those two items help, I'd next try increasing the first layer hotend temperature by 2 or 3 degrees.

Indeed...and I've found this stuff to be the hands-down best. It grabs parts like glue, yet is water soluble. They should sell this stuff just for reprappers:
Garnier Fructis Style Extreme Hairspray
