... replacing the old with something new
|
New construction is going on around town -- we noted at least three sites (although there are several others), such as the reconstruction with proper drainage of the athletic field opposite Melrose High, on the south side of the Parkway. The project goes along with the recent total reconstruction of the Green athletic fields. Recall? It was built in the 1960s as a showroom for a new Mercury automobile sales room -- which didn't last too long before the owners rebuilt yet another new location on Main Street in Greenwood. Word is, this picture, at the corner of Vine and Essex Steet, next to Ozzie Wheeler's fix-it shop -- will be for apartments. ... and progress moves ahead at the reconstruction of the the former Universalist Church at the corner of Essex and Willow Street. New thermal windows are in place, and the new dormers have been roughed in. Progress is roughly on schedule for a fall opening. ...photos by Editor Don Norris July 6, 2012
