As part of the plan for the second phase of the Highland Park building on Irving, the La Casa shelter demolished this weekend. As you may recall, the building had a nice mural on it talking about the history and people of the neighborhood. A new shelter will be built behind the new building. John Reinhardt snapped a bunch of good photos of the mural and the building being demolished, two of which are here.
Too bad we’re losing a mural, but it sounds like the project will be good overall — more places to live and retail spots, plus there’s going to be another shelter built.
