Pro Quality seemed to be doing a pretty good job today.  It will be nice to see this corner cleaned up once the buildings are down, however, it is just too bad that they could not get the Public Market building down as well.

Can't speak for the others but the building on the corner, across from City Hall at one point was the Hasti-House restaurant.

Does anyone have pictures of these buildings, and/or know any history about them?
