MANKATO Two are going, two are gone as the transformation of South Front Street begins.
"This is really going to change the look of this area," said Gregg Anderson of the project that will eventually bring a seven-story office tower, a four-story retail/residential building and a parking ramp and lot. The buildings will begin going up next summer in a $16 million development by Tailwind Group.
Anderson, who runs a photo studio in his Front Street building, said the demolition of buildings to clear the way for the project is removing the last remnants of some old Mankato businesses.
This week, crews demolished two smaller buildings on the corner of Warren and South Front Street one that had housed Survey Services and one that was most recently an antique store. Those spaces, across Front Street from where the construction will take place, will be a surface parking lot.
Demolition of the Survey Services building marks the end of the site of one of Mankato's first pizza parlors Pizza Kato.
Chuck Dahline, raised in Willmar, was attending the University of Minnesota in 1957 when he went to work at a restaurant and tasted his first pizza. "I didn't know what a pizza was."
His boss soon recommended Dahline to a friend who was opening a new pizza parlor in Mankato and Dahline applied for a job. "Not many people in Mankato knew anything about pizzas, so I got the job," Dahline said.
In December of 1958 Pizza Kato opened in a new building just four months after the city's first pizza place, Beasey's Pizza, opened on Main Street.
Ten years later Dahline bought Pizza Kato and ran it for another 20 years until 1988. The original parlor had a large neon marquee sign that was later replaced with a wall sign to meet new city sign ordinances.
Nearly every day, Dahline could be seen through the large window in front of Pizza Kato tossing and rolling pizza dough.

A demolition date for the Port Kembla stack may well be months away.
The NSW Planning and Infrastructure department this week placed two plans from Port Kembla Copper (PKC) on exhibition for public comment.
A demolition management plan and evacuation management plan are on exhibition until October 31.
The government needs to sign off on those plans before the stack demolition can take place and a Planning and Infrastructure department spokesman said that could be some time away.
Plans for demolitionof stack go on show
Following the end of the two-week exhibition, the department and other agencies will consider the submissions received and, once satisfied that the plans are appropriate, will then give the final sign-off, the spokesman said.
He said it was not possible to estimate a timeframe by which the documents would receive the stamp of approval.
While the department is keen to progress the matter in a timely fashion, its not possible to speculate on how long this may take as it is dependent on a number of factors such as the number and nature of the submissions received and whether any changes to the plans are required as a result, he said.
Once the plans are signed off a demolition date will then be determined in discussion with PKC and all relevant government agencies.

Port Kembla stack demolition put on hold
MANCHESTER, CT (WFSB) -
A historic building destroyed by a devastating fire nearly a week ago was expected to be demolished on Friday night, but it was halted. The demolition will begin 6:30 a.m. on Saturday.
Fire ripped through a historic building at 801 Main St., which was home to more than 20 apartments and two businesses - the Great Harvest Bread Company and Connecticut Valley Coin Saturday night.
Flames swept through the building, which was built in the early 1900's, and was smoldering for days.
Demolition on the building started Sunday night, but has been halted multiple times.
Fencing was put up around the property in preparation for the demolition earlier this week.
Before demolition could begin, crews cleared the debris from the site. The demolition work began around 6 p.m. Friday, but was halted by 7:15 p.m.
Residents next to the burned-out building needed to leave their homes until after the building is brought down because of safety issues.
"As far as I know, the fire marshal told us our building has been cleared by the engineers and cleared by the fire department as structurally sound, so that's even more frustrating to know that our home is OK and we still can't get in it," Diane Burke said.
Once demolition begins, the 800 block of Main Street will be southbound only, and northbound traffic will be detoured down Oak Street.

Scene Behind Demo Site Friday (Jesse Leavenworth/The Hartford Courant / October 18, 2013)
7:22 p.m. EDT, October 18, 2013
MANCHESTER Demolition of a burned out Main Street building began on Friday evening and is expected to be finished on Saturday.
Workers were scheduled to start razing 801-809 Main St. early on Friday, but the contractor did not have the necessary higher level demolition license, town officials said. BriCo Environmental Services Solutions had to bring in a subcontractor with the right equipment and credentialed personnel, officials said.
Fire Chief Robert Bycholski said the subcontractor stopped work on Friday night and planned to finish the job on Saturday. He said the demolition and debris removal may affect traffic on Main Street at times.
The fire broke out on Oct. 12 and destroyed the 1905 building, which housed two businesses and eight residents in a rooming house. The fire was not considered suspicious, but no cause has been found, fire officials said on Friday.
Residents in an adjacent building also have been displaced until demolition is complete.
The property owner has agreed to fund police security at the scene until the tear-down is finished, he wrote in a news release.
