Another empty lot

The twice-burned house next to Columbia park is gone. Sitting on the lot on Thursday night, looking like a predator gloating over its demolished its prey, was an excavator. The city moved fast--it was less than a month ago that they were discussing on whether they should demolish it.

 Life goes on. Across the street a tee-ball game was in progress. The players seemed very small and young, so I asked one of the Lions selling concessions how old these kids were. He joked that it looked like some of them still had diaper bulges under their uniforms.

It could be true--in some places they start soccer at three. Why not tee-ball?
