Demolitions-a-Plenty

October 12th, 2006 by Bart Everson

I hope everyone concerned about demolitions in Mid-City is checking out “Squandered Heritage,” the excellent blog by Karen Gadbois.

Although Karen lives in Northwest Carrollton, she’s documenting a lot of properties in Mid-City. Unfortunately, the posts relating to Mid-City are not tagged or categorized as such, so you’ll have to hunt a bit to find them. Consider, for example, the corner store at 3036 Banks Street which is slated for demolition by FEMA.

FEMA is currently seeking public comment on these historic properties that it has slated for demoliton. I hope neighbors in Mid-City are paying attention.

    heres an idea, i know that yall said yall ould want to form a local historic district. that would help because the hcdrc is not helping at all . get out of their jurisdiction they’ve been nothing but trouble since katrina, the hdlc would help mid city alot more.
