August 2, 2016: A view of the Walnut school complex.
Something to end the week on a little higher note.
The town of Walnut will turn its now-closed school into a community center, the Omaha World-Herald reports. The core is a 1910 building, but a gym was built in 2000. It would be a shame to see any of it fall into disrepair, so this is encouraging news.
The article said part of the school, the elementary, has been demolished, but I don’t know if it’s the 1951 addition seen in the foreground of the photo or a different addition on the other side.
UPDATE: A reader told me it’s the elementary addition in the foreground and sent a video link of the demolition.
