This morning I had the absolute misfortune of driving past this travesty on my way home from the post office.
Seeing them destroy this beautiful farmhouse was like a literal punch to my gut. Actually brought tears to my eyes.
I got halfway home but decided that I had to go back and try to capture it with my camera before it was completely gone...but as you can see I was too late because that were working at a feverish pitch to destroy it.
Of course, the whole area that the house sits on that was once farmland is now marked off because I'm sure we'll soo see lots and gray and tan ugly new subdivision houses or some such similar thing in its place. It's happening all around us.
I know that some people won't understand my very strong visceral reaction to things like this, but what I see here is not simply a house being torn down, but the destruction of history and memories and the stripping of the heartbeat and soul of a town/state.
Be careful, Delaware. Your soul is eroding and you're well on your way to being known as the Land Of Overpriced Ugly Houses.
