Lets start our tour from the north...

...the southeast corner of 10th and Commercial:

The biggest and baddest of the eye sores is gone and the lot cleared. Instead of carting off this remaining pile of bricks (and the fragment of wall standing behind) or shoving it/them into the depression where once stood the building, covering it with dirt, and planting grass, we leave them...

...guarded by an idle crane:

Moving south, we quickly arrive at the site of our original "Mound 3"...

...truly impressive in size, massive even. And, it should be! It has been "improved"...added to since it was first featured in "The Wickliffe Mounds" post.

Three blocks south, we come to the remains of "Mound 2" (aka the now closed city dump.)

"Why?"

When the city carted off the "treasures" (the couches, tables, chairs, tires, and whatnot) why didn't they remove the pile of dirt...and cut the weeds?

I mean...we've got that big ol' sink hole down in front of Cairo Public Utility! Dump it in there and it will gone...forever!

Things that make you go "Hmmm..."

And then we come to our final destination...Third Street.

I saved the "best" for last:

Very disturbing, indeed.
