One More Demo...

Around the corner at 174 Glenwood the City of Buffalo finally took down one of its own houses! Its been sitting there for 3 years, wide open and a block away from the future home of Performing Arts High School.

Let's hope that the most recently acquired City of Buffalo property, 198 Glenwood is coming down next...I wrote about this property recently and openly wondered why the City took ownership at the recent tax auction when there's been an outstanding housing court warrant for the previous owner for three years, since the fire. For those of you familiar with this blog and part of my critique, you know that I've been comparing 198 Glenwood to 60 Brantford over in the City's more affluent Elmwood Village neighborhood. Comparing response times to fires and emergency conditions around our City schools.

I'll check later this week...

The demolition at 174 Glenwood last week marks the 13th demo in the 3 block area around the future home of Performing Arts High School in 12 months. 7 more that I have targeted...and 10 more that I'm adding to the list...
