Pre/Re/Construction...

You have seen this:

「Deconstruction: Demolishing a Showa Era House in the Neighborhood (this post is still under construction...)」

https://visualanthropologyofjapan.blogspot.com/2025/09/deconstruction-demolishing-showa-era.html

The next phase of neighborhood gentrification has begun... (Photos taken 12/26/25 - 12/31/25)
The plot has been divided into two.
A representative of the construction company recently made the rounds to houses in the neighborhood to inform us (verbally and in writing) about the upcoming construction of two new 3-story apartment buildings called 「フォレストグリェオーレ城垣町 I II」, or in English (?) Shirogaki-cho Grieore Forest I and II (not sure what "Grieore" is or refers to - and by the way, our neighborhood is not a forest...). Construction will begin on January 13 and continue until some time in May, daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

I can't promise to take photos everyday of the construction. But I will do my best to record substantial phases of construction and share it with a post in May.

So it seems like it will be a very noisy spring...
