Demo day was a big hit for Fruitvale residents who were pleased to see a community eyesore wiped out to make way for new green space.
The Village of Fruitvale demolished an old house they owned last week and are planning to transform the grounds across from Creekside Community Park into a green space.
“I think people were happy to see it demolished because it was sitting there boarded up for four or five years now,” explained Lila Cresswell, village chief administrative officer.
