Matthew N. Wells / The Daily World On Tuesday morning, Rognlin’s, Inc. tore down the former Bridges Restaurant, 112 N. G St., in Aberdeen. The restaurant closed in Oct. 2012, according to Lauren Nichol, former night shift supervisor at Bridges. The building’s owner ordered the teardown, according to Lisa Scott, community development director for the city of Aberdeen. Nichol, who worked there from 1998 until the day the restaurant closed, provided a comment after finding out Bridges was demolished. “I’m glad, it made me sad to look at it that way,” Nichol said. “It was a great place to work.”

Most of the chairs, even at the back of the room were spoken for. An estimated 140 women showed up then. The hope is as many or more attend on Tuesday night for the 6 p.m. event at Hoquiam Elks Lodge, 1082 — 624 K St.

This building, on the southwest corner of S. Park St., and W. Market St., in Aberdeen, is seen as an eyesore. It's buildings such as this one — others can be easily spotted, too — that have led to the city's Vacant Building Program. The program is there to get people who own the vacant buildings in town to maintain their structures. (Matthew N. Wells / The Daily World)
