LOCATION
On Monday, the demolition of Somerville's hulking, long-out-of-place waste transfer station will begin, and a gaggle of wrecking celebrities will join Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone and Ward 2 Alderman Maryann Heuston for a "Wallbreaking" Ceremony to celebrate. Wreck-It Ralph, Mario of Nintendo fame and some kids (because kids love to wreck stuff), as well as the wrecking field's latest hanger on, "Miley Cirus"* will all join in on Monday, October 28th, at 4:15pm, to give the structure a few good sledgehammer whacks. Demolition company S&R Corporation of Lowell will than knock down part of the structure. (Think of it as a groundbreaking ceremony, but in reverse.) The demolition work is expected to be completed by mid-November.
Musical selections including "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel will add to the festive atmosphere and guests will be given souvenir chips form the structure (Berlin Wall Style) to preserve the memory.
*Please note, all celebrities will be impersonators (aka City Staff with no shame), not the actual persons or official mascots for those named.
