A gentle blanket of snow had covered up the gash of demolition on the north side of the East Prairie Avenue Valley, which I photographed a month ago.

Update: The two four-family flats seen in the distance below have been demolished.

Before the clearing of what was essentially a forest, this area was wild, unkempt and covered with thick undergrowth. It looks practically naked now, with long vistas that were not possible to see before.
