My only regret is that no artists were asked to "creatively demolish" them

Central City houses featured by HBO's 'Treme' meet the wrecking ball

Update: This is interesting. David Simon tells us the Treme producers, at the behest of local "active preservationists" (unnamed in Simon's letter), wrote to the Mayor two weeks ago about these buildings. The implication is that both the Mayor's office AND the "active preservationists" sat on the letter until it was released in the press this morning. Does that make any sense to anybody?
