HURRY UP AND WAIT AT MAC'S/ BECKER'S

A week ago today I posted that an excavator was being unloaded at the MAC's store on Arthur St. in downtown Elmira. These big machines don't come cheap. Afte a week some brickwork has been removed from the building and that's it. The rest of this small store is still standing. Meanwhile the house beside the Short Stop on Church St. (Hwy # 86) is gone after two days work with a similar excavator. What the heck is going on??? Are we having some second thoughts in regards to potential odours? Is there some delay in getting permits for the disposal of the gasoline contaminated soil? Similar to the "cleanup" at the old Varnicolor site, something seems to be amiss.
