Many neighbors are rejoicing over the demolition of the cramped cottage at Adams and Nathan that happened last month. Next-door neighbor Mary Beth Haug said, “Having that cottage come down was by far the best Christmas present I could ask for. It was a source of so much grief during the six years that I’ve lived here and I never really thought this day would come! I’m so thankful that we can start fresh and new with all the old removed.”
The structure–neglected by an absent landlord and occupied by lawbreakers–was deemed not worth salvaging by its now-owner, Brien Dyer, who bravely wrested it from the “bad guys” a few years back and has had it taken down. Thank you, Brien! He is deciding what to do with his lot. In the meantime, Mary Beth has volunteered to care for the tiny area once it is green again.
