Built in the mid-1800's, Market Square could have become a great tourist attraction
A group of people had started a law suit to prevent the demolition of the historic Market Square area
The publicity was very positive for retaining some of the old buildings and the outcome looked good
A court order was about to be issued to prevent it's destruction but it was coming too late
The Urban Renewal people brought the wrecking ball in and destroyed the buildings in the Market Square area
before the court order was issued of which would have prevented them from destroying this historic area
It's a real shame that Market Square was demolished as the City could have turned the Market Square area into
a unique & historic tourist attraction
Most of these historic structures were built in the mid-1800's and they were all razed
