And The Walls Come Tumblin' Down

But not on their own accord...

What is missing from this picture?






How about a big yellow endloader poised to do some "remodeling"?




Actually, it already has:





About 45 Name This Peoria Landmark pictures ago, Peoria Illinoisan posted a picture of the old red barn behind the ex-Underwood Furniture building next to GFS and Culvers. I made a comment that it may be slated for demolition.

Well, it is. One really hates to see things like this go, but I guess in the middle of the city, an old, falling apart barn has little but nostalgia versus progress set forth by new owners of the ex- Eric's Great Steaks building.

That bites. I always liked seeing that goofy barn stuck in the middle of the city as a little reminder of what used to be there.

Can't stand in the way of progress, I guess...
