Village Fourplex falling down, falling down...

If you had to pick one item to save from your burning house, what would it be? I read this question recently and I don't know what I would pick. I think my laptop would have to be it. I have so many pictures on this thing that would be so hard to replace. Yet, I have so many childhood memories scattered throughout my apartment.

There is this nasty trend on my street lately. Aparently, the owners of the four-plexes are tired of renting the units. They have decided to tear down the homes and turn them into town homes to sell. This is really sad. They have already torn down two of them. They recently sectioned off four more to tear down. I was walking my dog this evening and noticed this big ass John Deere tractor in the front yard. It's the size of the two story four plex. I think they will start the demolition of the four units tomorrow.

I heard these units have been around for a long time (over fifty years). I can believe it because my unit is old as hell. I have the only unit on the street with central A/C and a newly remodeled interior. It's such a shame that the history of the homes will be gone in one fatal swoop of the crane.

I'm going to take a picture of the units tomorrow morning along with the crane. Someone should capture these buildings in some medium before they are erased from time.
