Final destination for 11-17 Second Ave.

Been some time since we checked in on 11-17 Second Ave., the buildings — including the Mars Bar space — that will be demolished to make way for a 12-story apartment building. There are some whispers about why nothing much has happened here of late.

In any event, this past Saturday, workers were on the scene. When asked, a worker said they were removing the sewer and water lines from the property... a necessary step before demolition...

Expect to see some scaffolding soon. The City issued that permit in early August... not to mention the debris chute.

So all this is to say ... expect some scaffolding here soon enough...
