298.0. "Sittin' Bull gone??? " by USCTR2::KDUNN () Wed May 22 1991 11:54

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SITTIN' BULL ???? 

I was driving to the town meeting, and it was GONE,  totally gone.    
This seems like it was a very quick demolition and haul-away.   I 
drive around all of the down town streets while going to here and 
there, and didn't notice it until I was on my way to the town meeting. 
How long has it been gone?  

Was there a structural problem, or are there other plans for the site?

    What are you talking about Sittin'bull is still there. Are you confused
    with the empty lot next to it. They cut down and clean up all the tree
    inthe lot.

298.2You notice one thing, I notice anotherULTRA::DONAHUEWed May 22 1991 12:4710
    The Sittin Bull is gone you say? Gee! I walk right by there, quite
    often and I didn't notice it was gone. I thought my cousin said that he
    was there a week ago Saturday (the 11th?)

    I DID notice that the growth of trees, poison oak, etc has been cleared
    away between the seafood restaurant (can't recall the name right now) 
    and the apartment building.

    Never noticed the Sittin Bull gone though. I'll have to check that out.

Yup, Sittin' Bull is still there. It's the lot next to the Quarterdeck
that's been cleared.

298.4I'm not that crazy after all!!ULTRA::DONAHUEThu May 23 1991 13:434
    The Quarterdeck!! That's the name of the place I couldn't recall!

    I'm glad to see that it WAS the brush being cleared away that made that
    section look so different! It DOES look nice, doesn't it?
298.5MEWVAX::AUGUSTINEPurple power!Thu May 23 1991 14:296
Well, it looks better, but I'm secretly hoping that they do some landscaping
back there. The people who live in that grey house behind the lot must 
feel awfully exposed all of a sudden!

298.6They need more than landscaping!ULTRA::DONAHUEThu May 23 1991 15:322
    I've seen the inside of those apartments, they need more work inside
    than out!
298.7Guess it's not gone...USCTR2::KDUNNThu May 23 1991 15:469
Ok, I guess it must be the empty lot that wzs cleared.   

I came to a screeching halt and tried to figure what was gone.   I 
either didn't see the sittin bull, or looked in the wrong place.  

Oh well, i wonder why they cleared it? 


298.8West End HouseSENIOR::IGNACHUCKNative MaynardianThu May 23 1991 16:577
    The empty lot is the site of the long-gone West End House, a large
    tenement house that burned down in the early 50's.  The long front 
    step still can be seen on the back edge of the sidewalk.
    
    I have no idea why the land is being cleared.

    Rumor has it that the Quarter Deck is planning to build a parking lot
    next to the restaurant.
