Got a text (thank you!) about yellow “crime scene” tape and police activity at the 61st/Admiral site where 12 rowhouse units are scheduled to replace three duplexes. We hadn’t heard anything, so we went over to check, and found out that it’s training, as police and/or fire sometimes get permission to do in and around soon-to-be-demolished buildings. We’re told they’ll be there another hour or so.
Oh man, my old home from 76~81. Loved that place. RIP Mary Brush.
It’s midnight, the cops just left from 59th and Admiral; by now those houses have probably been demolished and new townhouses built. I’m sure when I go to work on Wednesday, by the time I get home my landlord will have sold my house, demolished it and built new condos where it used to be. C’est la vie…sigh…
Sorry, comment time is over.
