The decaying Bosche Building and an adjacent vacant building are to be turned into a mixed-use complex that would include loft apartments. http://www.buffalonews.com/2010/06/05/1071891/plans-set-for-main-street-building.html

An historic building is being renovated and turned into a jazz history museum in downtown Buffalo. http://buffalo.bizjournals.com/buffalo/stories/2010/05/24/daily27.html

^That's f'n awesome. I'm glad I got in there when I could.

The city of Youngstown is taking control of the former Liberty-Paramount Theater, property that at least one downtown advocate hopes can be turned into a multi-use space for local performing arts and other activities. http://business-journal.com/clients/business-journal/city-to-acquire-former-paramount-theater-p16591.htm?twindow=Default&smenu=1&mad=No

Here is an article on Danny Klinger, the founder of OTR ADOPT. It's a new business that matches investors with historical buildings that are in danger of being demolished. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100523/NEWS01/5240302/Old-buildings-new-owners

This apartment building was destroyed by an arsonist. I have pictures of it before the collapse but after the fire too. Newberry School is currently being demolished

*Village in Jackson County *Population of 1,101 at 2000 Census

*Village in Monroe County *Population of 505 at the 2000 Census. One of Maybee's oldest building (1873) was just destroyed by a fire. You will see the building later in the thread. Here is the building destoyed by fire. It was built in 1873 and has been used as a bed and breakfast, dance hall and movie house. Right before the fire it was used as apartments, called home by 6 people. The owner really wants it saved and restored.

I don't have any pictures of my own but I thought I would share these pictures of the fire at the Masonic Temple in Cleveland the other day. http://www.fox8.com/news/wjw-cleveland-masonic-temple-fire-pictures,0,7921143.photogallery

I got the idea to make a day trip to Homer a few other towns because recently a fire destroyed a Homer landmark. *Population of 1,851 (2000 Census) *Originally called Barneyville, named after its settler Milton Barney in 1832. *Homer is part of the Battle Creek Metro Statistical Area.

What the mill use to look like… Some info on the mill building. *16,000 square-feet *Built in the 1880s *Used as a mill until 1970 and shortly afterwards became a dinner theater. *Since 2006 used as a haunted house with a restaurant and bar. Present pictures of whats left of the mill.

Monday the fight to save the former Methodist church on East Long Street ended when it started being demolished. There was an attempt to renovate the building last year. http://www2.nbc4i.com/news/2010/may/17/fight-save-church-ends-demolition-ar-79193/ For a picture and history of the church go here... http://columbuslandmarks.org/advocacy/centenary-church.php

Some picuteres of the former Romney home. Not much left of Sherrard

The Former Romney home in Plamer Woods is on the cities demolition list. The 5,500 square-foot house is in Palmer Woods. 2 future governors lived there, George Romney (Michigan's 43rd in 1963) and former Mass. governor Mitt Romney. Check out the article for pictures of the house. http://www.detnews.com/article/20100515/METRO01/5150359/1409/Former-Romney-home-on-Detroit-s-demolition-list

People driving slow in the left lane on the highway!!!!! Slower traffic move to the right!

Goodbye to the ugly addition on Sherrard. Too bad they aren't stopping there.

The AM&A Warehouse Lofts are set to open. The building was vacant for more then a decade and considered an eyesore.
