The Kent Block: Destruction Underway

October 1, 2010:  Lots of construction in Kent this year. The Crain Avenue bridge is being replace (long overdue!), and the Kent block project has started. Almost all of the old buildings have been taken down, and most of the debris removed. Davey Tree, more retail, and some Kent State offices will occupy the building when done.Very cool that Kent is being revitalized - the city and University are also building an intermodal center (that would be a transportation hub to the rest of us), and the University is planning a new approach to the campus through downtown.

I shot these out the car window - Chuck was too sick (bronchitis) to take a walk around town.
