As of 6pm 11/08, the Grandee Apts remain in tact. Weather must have canceled the beginning of the demo.
Here’s a little history the city and leaders haven’t mentioned regarding Grandee…
It’s high time this complex cease to exist.
RIP James Edward Hill Sr.

To clarify, the Grandee will be demolished in a couple of weeks, pending asbestos abatement. On Friday there was a brief photo session with Council members and a few other interested parties who took a whack at the building which has been a blight on the community for some time.
We’ll let you know when the actual demolition will occur as soon as we have a date set.
We’re sorry for the confusion.

Demolition is in progress. As I drove by yesterday afternoon, the front "wing" of the Grandee was almost completely demolished. It was a beautiful sight.
