Lived in 10 Delmar then moved over into 6. Lived in 6 from the time of the move over from 10 up to 2001. They're talking about having a park there. They want to hopefully save some of the homes and turn them into some sort of museum.
January 9, 20233 yr Author We moved out of 10 Delmar into 6 Delmar Halloween 1988. I was 1 year old. We lived in 6 from the time I was 1 up until I was 14 in 2001.

WTF???** That's strange to say the least! Actually it's down right weird! ** What The FLASH??? ....something you say about something so confusing even Flash wouldn't understand!
September 13, 20232 yr Author I feel sad. Took a drive thru my ol' neighborhood Campbell Ohio.Everything is gone in my old neighborhood. All this is gone now. My childhood apartment, my 2 schools I attended. 8 other different apartment buildings there are gone. Tear down actually started 11 years ago. But they only just got around to our building this past January 2023. Ours stood vacant for 22 years before tear down. September 2001- January 2023 ours stood after we moved out. Nothing but a memory now all of it. At least we took some pictures of them before tear down. Don't have any pictures of the schools though. The apartment buildings are now only a memory, the schools too.
September 13, 20232 yr Author Apartments that gone now... One row of Chambers St. near Ensley Ave. Ensley Ave. row, 1 row of Booker Ave. 2 rows on Delmar Ave. 1 big row on Andrews Ave. 1 big row on Blackburn St. 1 big row on Robinson Rd. Also R. I. P. Penhale Elementary School, and Reed Middle School.
September 13, 20232 yr Sorry to hear that. People do get attached to buildings. I'm still upset the Dukes Georgia farmhouse came down.

November 10, 20232 yr Author Hey y'all. Mom and I drove by Delmar today, and I got a piece of the red tile roof that was left behind in clean up. I have a souvenir from Delmar Ave now!
