Demo Update

Well, the demolition teams were busy in Lorain late last week – so the Brady Blog Camera Team (me) was out and about, capturing it all on film, er, uh.. on whatever it is you want to call that inside my camera.

Whittier has slowly begun to come down. Friday was appropriately grey and depressing.



The house on Ninth that I first mentioned back here is now a pile of rubble, an ignominious end to what was formerly a nice house decades ago. Too bad.


And the house at 904 Oberlin Avenue was knocked down as well (below).

Next up – 770 Broadway (below)!

I'll never understand why this building has to come down. Downtown Lorain already looks like a crooked smile with a bunch of teeth missing. Why get rid of a building that actually has some character?
