The crane was a 50 ton P&H truck crane painted yellow owned by Ernest Scarpa of Western Mass Contractors . The foreman on the job was me Charles L. Flint, I was the son of the operator of the crane. We took down about a hundred buildings in North Adams for Urban Renewal. Randy Trabold was our good friend.

I loved Bank Street as a child. The Transcript presses, the little english tea shop and all those interesting nooks and crannies...tearing it down was A very sad time for North Adams!

OMG...I was barely out of my teens when they tore the heart out of North Adams. I never realized the Flint crane took down so many buildings....and they were NOT all rat infested, fire traps! My family owned a small restaurant in that area..rats and fires are a lame excuse!
