Cleanup crews appear poised to start work on the Liberty Warehouse

Driving by the beseiged Liberty Warehouse this afternoon, I was pleased to see some new signage going up on the building.

Last time someone stuck a sign on the building, it was a "CONDEMNED" sticker in light of roof damage back in May -- damage that led several non-profits paying below-market rates to have to find new digs for their organizations.

Over a contentious few weeks, Greenfire Development faced condemnation proceedings based on leak complaints by at least one tenant; saw (a few weeks later) an actual partial collapse of the roof after a rain storm; found itself in the center of the bulls-eye for public criticism over the building's condition; and pressed back on accusers, noting it has rehabbed and brought many once-dilapidated buildings back to productive use, and saying that the Liberty's collapse was related to other roof problems that weren't apparent from visible inspection.

A demolition-by-neglect hearing set for June, though, was cancelled after Greenfire pledged to restore the building's condition.

Today's signage? Banners from BELFOR Property Restoration, which bills itself "the worldwide leader in disaster recovery and property restoration."

On Friday, the 24th, there was a boatload of guys in white "bunny" suits and respirator masks going in and out through all the doors on Foster Street.
Somebody (whether it be Greenfire or the County) doing something is an encouraging sign.

The quality of life and security for the citizens has been largely restored and we are a large part of why that has happened.

The first officers were Duncan F. Curry, president, William R. Wheaton, vice-president, and William H. Tucker, secretary-treasurer.It is likely that Cartwright picked some of his twenty rules based upon his previous experience in town ball play in Manhattan. The original rules of play at the vacant lot in Manhattan were not documented so it cannot be said which rules were Cartwright's own invention.

I would like to scrapbook some of my childhood – there are few photos but I’d like to find ways to do this anyway. Thanks for the chance.
