The Walls Come Tumbling Down

Demolition has begun in earnest on "Ol' Pocky," the long wall of St. Boniface Cemetery that runs 1600 feet along Lawrence Avenue.  Yesterday the workers had destroyed the wall between Clark and  Dover by mid-afternoon, and according to the "demo" sign sprayed on it, the first phase will include everything up to Beacon.  We're so happy to see it go, to be replaced with a stone and metal fence to match the Clark side of the cemetery.  There's a slide show of what the new fence will look like, along with a schedule for the three phases of the project, at St. Boniface's website, here.
