Out with the old

On Tuesday night we joined other downtown residents and business owners at a “farewell to Frankie’s” party. Frankie’s Pizza, located in an odd bit of building scabbed onto a larger block in the Harmony parking lot, was an institution around these parts. It never recovered from Irene flooding and the Brooks House fire, and closed shortly after we moved here. 

Various dignitaries were on hand to cheer the impending demolition and celebrate the green space and little performance space that will go up in its place after the money is found. The big digger was a fun prop…

After three days the building is completely gone and the hole neatly filled.
