Work started Monday on the demolition of the old Kinkead Building. But
before workmen began, they and public works erected a 7-foot tall,
plywood silouette of the grim reaper — painted black, of course. the
demolition begins with environmental crews removing asbestos and other
hazardous materials from the six-story building. Public Works Manager
Gus Nunez has said he wants Kinkead down before he retires at the end of
the year.
