Documenting the erasure of some of the city's oldest low income housing. The rowhouse and apartment-style red brick dwellings that stood here blended seamlessly into the fabric of Wilmington's Little Italy neighborhood. What replaced them is typically gaudy cheap-looking modern architecture, peppered with parking lots which have broken up the block and made it feel like something more akin to the suburbs. The new buildings also lack the alleys, balconies and wrought-iron fencing that was so iconic of this neighborhood. The buildings you see in the background are part of the same complex of low income housing, so we'll see if those go as well. About the only positive is the new buildings will still be low income housing, so at least the poor aren't being thrown out.
