(La Porte, IN) - The Mayor of La Porte continues to show he’s sort of a one man wrecking crew.  The old Lady Rose bar at 403 E. Lincolnway, and the building next to it, are coming down.

They’re the latest structures being demolished since Tom Dermody set a new standard when he took over as mayor nearly a year ago.  "We made a committment early on that we want some of these buildings to be demolished and the Lady Rose is in the process of being demolished as we speak," Dermody said. 

Just a few weeks ago, the old Tibma Bakery on Woodward St. was torn down after sitting dilapidated and empty for many years.  Officials hope new affordable housing goes up at the old bakery site.

Plans for the old Lady Rose bar site are not yet known.
