Just seen at District Justice office

Movin' on out

At the Columbia Family Restaurant this morning

Following is a post that was scheduled to be published last week, but a "certain incident" over the weekend got in the way. The photos show the operation at 208-210 Locust Street, in which the brick facade was taken down, and a temporary covering was put in place. Afterwards, the 200 block of Locust was opened to traffic.

Examining the facade

Taking it down, brick by brick

Workmen used bucket trucks to reach the bricks.

Plywood was removed from atop the temporary walkway.

The opening continually expanded throughout the day.

And there's the bathroom.

Completely down

Inspecting the work

Checking it out

Dumpster load of bricks - very few were salvageable.

Installing framing to attach to

"We're gonna need a bigger board."

Attaching the particle board

Two at a time

All wrapped up

Deconstructing the walkway

Having a look

There was even a permit posted.

A few final touches

Borough workers moved the barriers that were blocking Locust Street traffic and placed them along the front of the property to protect pedestrians.

Putting it all together

Busy day at District Court

Apparently, an inordinate number of cases occupied the office of the district justice most of the day today, as citizens and police from various departments continually came and went.
