Gone

I was looking back on my files and saw that I took some pictures of the old Tate Theater/Tony's Pizza Palace in Olyphant back on May 12th.  Demolition was imminent.  Well, sort of imminent.  A demolition crew got around to it this week, and it didn't take long.

Above is a demolition shot.  Below is before the mid May view, long before the crew got here.

It's too bad.  The building was deteriorated and it couldn't be saved.  We seem to do that a lot here-- wait too long, until rehabilitation is no longer an option and demolition is the only answer.

Borough officials are considering a pocket park for the site.
