We can only hope for the best. It's always very sad to return home and not see the things I saw growing up, including that great mill. As my childhood pastor said about Steubenville, it's the "City of Murals and Parking Lots" now. That statement unfortunately has some truth for that whole area now. Unfortunately the murals aren't even making a statement now. I guess this is how small towns become ghost towns.
My great aunt lived in a home right across from the view of this demolition, in Weirton. When visiting her I would always just sit outside on her enclosed porch and listen to the sounds of the mill and watch trains.
