A few days ago I helped a neighbor of mine salvage a 10ft long slab of limestone which fronted a fireplace. Talk about contrasts, though, as I walked through the alley I passed an older gentleman tending his garden and father down was a family frolicking in their backyard swimming pool. No doubt those scenes will soon disappear too. I do take heart in that they are being slowly stripped by the surrounding neighbors instead of being simply bulldozed.

While I don't think these beautiful homes should have been slated for demolition in the first place, it is just as sad to let them be slowly desecrated in this manner.
