   So, does anyone know what kind of development will take over this property? I remember seeing a lot of speculation when the demo was announced but hadn’t heard what might go there.

   Rats, is all that oak flooring going to be toothpicks?

   What a waste.

   I saw some guys “deconstruct” a garage behind a house on Marshall a couple weeks back.

   It came apart piece by piece, same way as it was built, and went away neatly stacked on a trailer.

   They should have let people go in and deconstruct it before they tore it down.

   I’m sure if you had offered them enough money they would have let you.

   From what I heard they DID allow someone from a shop the specializes in reusing old materials come in an take out some of the wood floors. It’s a shame about all that old metalwork though.

   From Matt:

   One valuable lesson has been learned from all of this. When dealing with uncooperative partners and uncooperative tenants, just call the friendly folks at City Hall and let them send the fire marshal out to just condemn the property.

    Yep, the one word that sums this up is WASTE. Shame on them.
