Thanks for the info, Mike.
1 - Last weekend, workers dragged all this cardboard out of the CBHC building. It sat there for a week.
2 - Yesterday, someone in a James E. Hanson truck came by and took it away.
3 - This is a wider shot showing the three main buildings: the CBHC, Don Alfonso restaurant and the James E. Hanson realty company that's not only carting away all the CBHC cardboard, but is also.............
4 - ............STILL OPEN! I saw at least a half-dozen people drop by to pay rent or whatever, while...............
5 - ............right outside their window, soil samples were being drilled out in their parking lot.
6 - A little later, a flatbed arrived to pick up the apparatus

Two months later, this is the first sign of change to the exterior of any of the three buildings.
These guys were here at 7am yesterday to basically erase the front of Hanson Real Estate. I took the third picture twenty minutes after I took the second one............all that was left of the sign was "RE". Eleven seconds later, that was gone. I took the last picture today.

1. Before the work started, they put up a fence in the Hanson Realty parking lot (but haven't closed it yet). This 3-image stitch was taken on October 1.
2. Since the gate was open, I went inside to do a 10-picture, greater-than-360-degree stitch while I still could. Some day soon, this view will never be seen again, since it might be the inside of a big building. One of the frames turned out to be out of focus, so I put my watermark there so you wouldn't notice it (yeah, right).
3. On October 12, I could see what I'm guessing was asbestos prep on the roof and the side windows of two businesses on Main St
4. By October 13, asbestos signs were up in the lot.
5,6. On the same day, I noticed vents atop one of the doors on the CBHC building. When I looked through the glass of the other door, I could see this hanging at the top of the steps.
7. Two days ago, workers were on both roofs.

I guess they're done.
The truck and the asbestos signs are gone. The roofs are clear of people and equipment and the windows on the Main St building lost their coverings.
The vents over the door are now just holes over the reflection of the First Presbyterian Church and the up-the-stairs look inside is back to normal.
A little later, an HFD Fire Prevention vehicle showed up, but I know not the purpose of the visit.

The asbestos remediation is done and a fence just went up around the project.
Can demolition be far behind?
