I already tried , The city gave me a nice , firm , NO !!! They did actually thank me for going about it the "right way" but still said "Sorry , we can't sell them or allow you to have them " Translation : they will become bulldozer fodder like everything else in the way of this project !

That sucks. Do you think you can get pictures of lights on the other side or is that also blocked off?

This yardblaster is on a Utility pole but its owned by a business, the poles are being rapidly replaced (some are fairly new poles!) Some have said that Utilities have permission to remove anything from their poles that isn't Utility owned, I fear that it may be removed but at least I have a photo.

An old green shovel incandescent floodlight that was on the side of a book store connected to a motel was lost to us as the motel and book store beside it are being torn down making way for new condos.

Forgot about this topic lol. Anyways, a couple of months ago, we lost a house with a old shovelhat on the side of it that appears to have been original to the house to make way for what I think is a college or something like that.

An old house in Belmont is being torn down, it had a LED Retrofitted Norelco area light. Sad to see a high quality yardblaster go but it was butchered anyway. I got a couple pics of it.

I especially hate to see old houses torn down. I love old architecture and will bet that house once was quite nice, especially being in your small town in NH.

Yeah but at least it wasn't centuries old like some. I think it was built in the 1940s, too bad it's going.

I am glad it was not alot older! Especially if it was going back to to the earlier 1900s along with Victorian-era houses which were built when 2x4s were 2x4s and lots of intricate detail was put into their woodwork, etc. Houses that came before then are a real treat too, they also were built rock solid and by craftsmen who took a lot of pride in everything their hands created

Belmont has a few of those too with the nice woodwork. Belmont is pretty historic styled and there are lots of old houses there. Too bad they didn't still have their incandescent fixtures to complete the look! I at least hope the replacement for the 1940s house will be somewhat nice.

Yeah, Belmont sounds like one of those really cute historic towns here in New England that have an appreciation for the old homes that are still standing. As long as their owners take good care of them and the community and residents continue with their civic pride in keeping Belmont as nice as it is, the older homes now existing should be around for lifetimes.
