Well, this morning in Lawrence started out with a bang as demolition crews took down two 100-year-old smoke stacks near Sal’s headquarters. We were on hand to talk to some of the neighbors who grew up looking at those big old stacks. One woman — who does not appear on the video — is 95 and has lived across from the old mill all her life, with several generations of her family still in the home. It was demonstrative of just how tight-knit some of these Lawrence neighborhoods remain despite the changes around them. The twin stacks that served as a backdrop to their home for so many years, however, are now gone. Out with the old and in with the new.
