“It’s an old, common cry in a city where demolition and development are often spoken in the same breath, and where trying to save historic homes from the wrecking ball can feel as futile as trying to stop the snow. My Twitter feed teems with beautiful houses doomed to vanish in the time it takes to say ‘bulldozed.’ Bungalows, two-flats, three-flats, greystones, workers’ cottages. The photos, posted by people who lament the death of Chicago’s tangible past, flit through my social media feed like a parade of the condemned en route to the guillotine,” mused Mary Schmich in her Chicago Tribune column on July 12, 2018.

Just found out tonighy that my childhood home AND the relatives home nextdoor where I spend many a happy moment in no longer exist. 😭 i knew the day was coming for my old home, but I had no idea the other went too!! It’s a bit saddee for me that my extended family did this without me having a clue. I’m fully aware that I have been out of touch with them while I went through some difficult stuff in my own life that was in no way caused by me. I feel bad that I didn’t make a better effort to stay in touch, but Oh I loved those old bldgs
