GAUTIER, MS (WLOX) -

Work to tear down the old Singing River Mall in Gautier is expected to be finished within the next two months. Gautier officials said demolition crews are working around the clock to keep the project on schedule in order to make way for a new multimillion dollar mega mall.

With one swift hit, a huge section of the old Singing River Mall came falling down on Sunday. Gautier Mayor Gordon Gollott and Councilwoman at large Mary Martin had a front row seat to all the action.

"This is the part I would come in and do all my shopping, and I am glad to see this torn down," Martin said.

"To see it being changed, it makes you feel good in your heart to see something happening in this city," Gollott said.

Gollott said demolition began back in February. While Belk will remain on site, most of the retail space around it is being knocked down. The mall site is on schedule to be cleared by September.

"Demolition is on schedule. A lot of the people think it is going slow, but you have to remember Belk is still open, and they have to section it off," Gollott said.

If the project continues to move at this steady pace, a new Walmart is expected to take shape at the start of next year. Soon after, a $90 million open air mall will go up with 50 or more stores.

"Between the construction of Walmart in January and opening in September, you will hear announcements of other retail outlets that are a going to come in here. It will just start mushrooming from there," said Gollott.

As city officials continue to monitor the progress of the project, they admit this multimillion dollar mall makeover is just what Gautier needs to improve the quality of life and economy.

As promised, minor league baseball team the Charleston RiverDogs recreated the Disco Demolition of 1979 by blowing up a boombox full of music and merchandise by Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus following Saturdays game between the RiverDogs and Augusta GreenJackets in Charleston, S.C.

The original Disco Demolition was conceived by Chicago White Sox owner Bill Veeck and his son, Mike, who now serves as president of the RiverDogs.

"'Disco Demolition 2' is dedicated to the eradication of their dread musical disease, like the original Disco Demolition attempted to do. We are going to take Bieber and Cyrus's merchandise and memorabilia, put it in a giant box, and blow it to smithereens. It is all in good fun, and we guarantee there won't be a forfeit of a game, RiverDogs general manager Dave Echols said in statement prior to Saturdays game. Fans who brought Bieber and Cyrus paraphernalia to the game received a $1 ticket.

Property owners along Alimosho Street, Dolphin Estate, Lagos, have lamented the demolition of their shops, describing the development as unjust.

Some of the affected people said the demolition by a task force made up of officials of the Ikoyi-Obalende Local Council Development Area, Kick Against Indiscipline and armed policemen came despite several appeals for more time and a court summons.

The aggrieved landlords, who reside mainly along the Alimosho Street, where the shops were located, said properties worth millions of naira were lost to the exercise carried out on July 3.

The spokesperson for the affected landlords, Mr. Ademola Arikawe, said the LCDA informed the residents that the shops had to be demolished to pave way for the construction of a health centre for the community.

He said the residents were not against the councils quest to bring about development in the community, but that such should have been done in a humane and just manner.

Arikawe said, When this matter was initially raised, we told the council officials that constructing the health centre at the site where the demolition was carried out would be in breach of the layout plan of the Lagos State Development Property Corporation, developers of the estate; as the site earlier earmarked for the project in the master plan has been encroached upon by the police.

Since it is not possible for the local government to acquire it back, they decided to shift it six feet away from our windows not considering the implications it will have on our health and wellbeing, since they plan to erect a storey building on the site. If this plan goes ahead, the environment around here will be choked and can lead to suffocation in our homes; besides devaluing the value of our homes.

Moreover, the site serves as an open space, which we the residents use for recreation. If the project is allowed to go on, all of that will be lost. We shouldnt be singled out to bear the brunt of the impact of the proposed project since it will benefit the generality of Dolphin Estate residents and environs.

He said all the parties involved were still in the process of settling the issue when the demolition was carried out.

They struck suddenly on July 3 using force and intimidation despite the fact that the matter is in court; besides several written appeals to Lagos State Governor, the Ikoyi-Obalende Council Chairman, as well as the state ministries of environment and physical planning and LSDPC. This impunity must not continue. Agents of government should be custodians of the law and not the violators. Consequently, we demand adequate compensation for our losses and an apology, he said.

Despite protests and pleas to save it, demolition will soon begin at an historic Jesuit retreat center on Staten Island.

The Committee to Save Mount Manresa says homeowners in the area have received letters stating that work is set to begin, tearing down buildings on the 15-acre site.

The letter says Expedite Demo Inc. has been issued permits, and the demolition should take about two or four weeks.

The property houses an old water tower, a gate from the 1860s and a 1920s-era chapel and grotto.

A restraining order against the developers was rescinded back in April.

Some area residents have expressed health concerns regarding the demolition, specifically about asbestos and lead in the buildings.

Those who'd like to save the property say it qualifies for historic preservation, but the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission denied it any protection.

It's expected that townhouses will be built on the site.
