Salvation Army Village is but a ghost of itself

The Salvation Army Village in the eastern part of the city is but a ghostly reminder of what was once there. A small grouping of duplexes surrounding a small park with a gazebo provided housing to youths seeking a sheltering home, a friendly place.

The youths are long gone but the buildings remain. Each unit is occupied by a different tenant, many of the units have been converted into offices uses by local charities. The village atmosphere left with the kids. The village has a somewhat forlorn feel today.

Many believe the village is living on borrowed time. The land is too valuable for such a low density use.
