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.
