Today I am sick to my stomach with grief and cannot bear to go to the bottom of the hill to look at the demolition. I hear the beeping of big trucks and enormous crashes and can only imagine what's coming down. I imagine six year old boys in trucks gleefully smashing through walls and roofs like it's a dollhouse, ignorant of the grief it's causing. I met a neighbor yesterday who summed it up as "senseless". "You can see how well that building was built; it was structurally sound," she said. "They're not even trying to salvage any of the wood."  Heartbreaking.    -Karina Burston

    Preserve Wakefield seeks to improve the future of Historic Wakefield, RI by advocating for responsible decisions that improve its sense of place, environment, and economy. We are currently looking to raise funds to fight an appeal by the developer against the Town's decision to deny its proposed Master Plan.
