Soon to be an ex-ramshackle shack

Greg MacKay watched workgers yesterday getting ready to tear down what's left of the old bridge keeper's house at the old Northern Avenue Bridge.

doesn't this bridge still swing open occasionally?
and if so, how will it continue to do so once this building is gone?
It's electric (boogie woogie woogie)
I'm assuming it's now electric like most bridges, and you have to schedule beforehand to have a DPW dude or whoever opens bridges come open it. And the DPW dude isn't given a house next to the bridge anymore.

Wait!
Isn't it a historic structure that should be preserved!! *duck*
Too bad.. understandable enough though
That crap shack on the pilings always stoked my curiosity. I kind of liked the dilapidated hunk of junk in the middle of a bustling city.
Which shack looks worse: this one, or Fresh Pond Seafood shack that looks like it will topple over any minute?
Fresh Pond Seafood Shack
disappeared about a month ago. I saw some of the demolition; it basically DID topple over. There wasn't any blasting or dismantling the building; looks like they just bulldozed it over and ran over the pieces a couple times.

Obviously this one
since Fresh Pond Seafood has been torn down for a while now.
Not so fast... This morning
Not so fast... This morning they were rebuilding that wall there that faces the drawbridge. Had it all framed out at 8am, and were moving plywood over to it from the barge.
Obsolete
Yep, the DPW guys have their new, air conditioned man-cave for those leisurely afternoons by the grill. Sayonara, old pal.
What do you think... other than the removal of the bridgekeeper's shack, has anything changed since the Herald report of a year ago?
how many empty beer cans did
how many empty beer cans did they find?
