This sign on the 300 block of Locust went missing a week or so ago. It reappeared, then ended up on the sidewalk as shown above.

It was then placed at its original location, as shown above.

Still Whites-Only?

427, 429, and 431 Cherry Street were demolished this week as part of a planned expansion by the Holy Trinity Church. A few days before the demo, however, CBFD 80 used the vacant houses for training, as shown in the photos below.

After demolition, all that was left was this pile.
