39 Houses Left.
#42 was 3964 Celburne, the portion of the street that was close to Brumley. Since I am on the theme from prior posts, I also sold them girl scout cookies. There were LOTS of boys in the neighborhood (some swore there was something with the water), and a couple [...]

Some people sleep in the day after Christmas, others destroy three houses.

With the bitter cold and now 8 inches of snow, I was really surprised to see that three more went down this past week…three that meant more to me than most of what remains. Two were on Brumley, and the other one was at the intersection of WW and Brumley. Their owners were [...]

3991 Bondurant – Destroyed 12/11
#46 was 3991 Bondurant. During the weekend ice storm, we saw the wrecker parked in the driveway, covered in ice and waiting to dig in. Monday we were hit with another wave of ice, but Tuesday, the ice cleared up and the house was destroyed.
This house was [...]

I knew something was terribly odd with 14831 Ralls for years. This was one that, again, stood out in memory of times gone by as being rather odd beyond belief. There was the fact that it had some homespun additions done to it years ago, including a brick lamppost at the [...]
3 more gone.

Most of the south side of the subdivision (south of Innerstate 270) has already been destroyed. After all, the runway is fully functional with three-fourths of the south side of Carrollton existing under the barely used concrete strip. The houses I cared for the most have been well buried for years… ten [...]

12803 Primghar – Destroyed 11/29
The house went down as expected on November 29th. Since daylight savings, it has been increasingly difficult to go into Carrollton during light hours. So it was a mild shock going in at twilight to faintly see the wrecker atop a mound of dirt and debris. After [...]
