When are they going to demolish 917 Bank?

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. "
James Baldwin

As we meandered back and forth between the one remaining Jubilee house and our new home in the church(our calorie burner on a daily basis), the Jubilee staff and community kept asking each other, "When are they going to bring in the bulldozer and demolish the 917 House?" It took us until Thursday to realize what we were seeing was the 917 House being demolished. No bulldozer, no big show, just piece by piece and nail by nail, the House came down; that's recycling and LEED certification for you. It came down like it went up, quietly, thoughtfully, steadily, with love.

Now it sits barely a shell of house; a passerby would be unaware if it was going up or coming down, but we know, because we've been waiting patiently. Construction has begun and this time next year holds promise of a new chapter for Jubilee.

Martha keeps walking around saying "Ay, los recuerdos, oh the memories". She's right; that house wasn't Jubilee because it was named so, we all made it Jubilee.
