November 18th finds from a torn down house spot

[Giant056]

I took my motorcycle out for a short ride yesterday around town a little then ended up at a friends house who lives about 5 blocks from me and I'll be darned if they didn't finally tear down a house next to his that's been on the waiting list for the city for a couple of years now. I did manage to find some good keepers there. I don't know what the button is exactly but I suspect it might be a railroad uniform button maybe.

Good stuff there. They seem to be taking down a lot of house's your way. How come?

There's a lot of houses that people have let go for back taxes around here and realtors don't want anything to do with a beat up old turn of the century home (early 1900's) so the city ends up with them cause nobody wants them because they're not worth fixing up because the property value's are so low and nobody bids on them.
