August
Last year at this time we were working feverishly on the issue of the illegal demolition of people’s homes. This year we have been working just as feverishly on the “non existant”:http://www.squanderedheritage.com/2008/07/12/noah-and-nora/ home gutting program.

NOAH and "the file"
“Here is one thing that stuck out in my mind from tonight’s report”:http://www.wwltv.com/local/stories/wwl0721089tpinvestigates.7b03a909.html I think they did a pretty good job of gutting a lot of the housing in the city, Blakely said.
