At my Changing Aging exercise class at the Dunbar Community Centre this morning, I looked out the window and saw the shovel of an excavator hovering over the trees to the east. Another demolition? A classmate said that there was a second demolition a block south. So...I took the long way home to check out these demos. Both houses must have been demolished on Monday or Tuesday, November 21 or 22. This typical 1945 house was on the corner of 33rd Avenue and Dunbar Street:
The rear of the house appears to have had two add-ons plus the deck.
The second house was at 3587 West 32nd, just east from the corner where the house at 3593 West 32nd was demolished in January 2016, and the empty lot is still there. The lot at 3587 is only 59 feet wide, but surprisingly for its size, it is two legal lots. This unique house was already a replacement house, since it was built in 1975. It was sold in February 2016.
In April, the garden flourished along with a lot of rogue plants.
I am pondering Changing Aging and Changing Dunbar.
