By the time you read this, the old Keen's Floral building along Green Ridge Street in Scranton will be history. It came down Monday night and Tuesday morning. This is a photo taken shortly after sunrise, Monday morning.
I can't say I've ever been here, but the building has been on Green Ridge Street, near the intersection with North Main, for as long as I can remember. It's a stucco box, and not really architecturally significant.
Still, I'm a little sorry to see it go. Someone could have done something with it. It's a moot point now. The demolition is part of a bridge replacement project and I'll have something to say about that tomorrow.
As luck would have it, I happened to be in the neighborhood Tuesday early morning. I took a picture of the rubble, just before dawn. We've lost a bit of our history, but at least we are finally getting a new bridge.
