The Demo Begins


My attention was diverted from my internet research to the sound of one large vehicle motor after another.  Lined up from the 900 block of South Duluth all the way to 11th street were the demolition dump trucks.  Today is the day they have begun demolition of some of the oldest homes in Pettigrew Heights.  These old houses, some of the beauts with historical significance are leaving this world for their future at the land fill.  In their place will be low-income senior housing.  


This house had its hazardous siding removed.  Almost looks better now.

This house on the left and the rubble to the right were so dilapidated, abused and hideous, that regardless their historical value, we are not too sorry to see them go.
