No word yet what will take its place. Despite costly complications arising from dreaded asbestos, the mission is to see the site "flat by fall". With close proximity to what will be the Monaca Cracker, however, people now seem triply positive that something productive will arise.

UPDATE: Governor Tomblin on hand today; demolition to occur "this week" (WTOV)

UPDATE II: Such a rare, beautiful sound when everybody is reading from the same hymnal (ELR, Kate Everly)
