HISTORIC BUILDINGS DEMOLISHED IN ONE DAY

in gratefulvibes •  6 years ago 

I watched as the two cranes worked, tearing down the once thriving block of landmark buildings. Historically speaking, the rumble was significant. The entire city block was part of an area which had previously been a large segment of the downtown of the city of Wisconsin Rapids. It took only 10 hours to demolish over 100 years of history.

Eventually this expanse of buildings would no longer be the center of business enterprise. Expansion east created more modern buildings and of course Walmart and other stores drew the public away from the old downtown area. Making the entire block of historic buildings expendable, I will be interesting to see what replaces them.

It’s terrifying how fast something can be eliminated. I sometimes pass by a place where there used to be a hotel with the same Name as my maiden name and still i‘m Surprised it’s no longer there after some years... 😬

It is always sad to see the historic buildings go down.
Hopefully something good will replace it's place.

Have a great day Papa Bear.
