Demolition preparations are picking up at the Mary Help of Christians lot on Avenue A between East 11th Street and East 12th Street... The plywood is up now around the former lot... and some probably-not-random-looking digging has started ...
Until now, work seemed agonizingly slow... the corpses of the buildings standing in recent weeks without windows while waiting for demolition...

Developer Douglas Steiner bought the property last fall for an unspecified residential complex.

Every morning as I stand at 11th and A waiting for the bus and see this slow death, I want to cry. It is such a desecration.
