700-800 BLOCK...AFTER PICS


Speaking of obsession, I will have to admit...

...this "last wall standing" really, really got on my nerves!

With folks busy setting up smokers, grills, picnic tables, and the stage for the Soul Phonics performance Friday night...the crane operator kept picking through the rubble...digging for minutes at a time only to come up with a single board, placing it carefully on top of a pile of other boards.

I was tempted to do my Ronnie Reagan imitation and shout:

"Mr. Crane Operator...tear down this wall!"

However...

Obsessed? Yes.

Crazy?

Well, let's just say that I restrained myself from offering public proof!


Some other after shots, showing that the wall DID indeed come tumbling down:


Had to have a "corner shot" to finish the before, during, and after series:


Plus, an angle shot:


And, finally, from the corner of 8th and Halliday:


Stay tuned for the FINAL "final picture"...

...of grass growing on the southeast corner of 8th and Commercial.


POSTSCRIPT:

Hopefully, it will be grass...not weeds...or mounds.
