PEORIA,Ill. -- Another piece of the puzzle in the downtown Peoria Marriott Hotel project clears a hurdle. Demolition of the former Big Al's strip club has finally begun.

Leading the pack, Developer Gary Matthews was the first man to take a claw at the old Big Al's Strip club in downtown Peoria on Friday.

"It's huge, this is a milestone for me cause I was very anxious to get going on the next building," Matthews said.

Matthews says the building will come down beginning Monday to make way for a new Marriott Hotel complex, which will sit adjacent to the Pere Marquette.

Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis says the $92 million project will be key to more downtown development.

"It's not the final piece in the puzzle. We really expect this is just gonna be a stepping stone for further redevelopment here in downtown. It's very nice to see this old nasty building coming down," Ardis said.

For Big Al's owner Al Zuccarini, it was a bitter sweet moment.

"A little sad, but it was pretty exciting actually. I look forward to the new hotel and main street. It's about time we start moving forward," he said.

Matthews says demolition could take up to two weeks and construction on the new Marriott could begin in March.

Payatas demolition leaves 70 families homeless. A demolition crew dismantles roof sheets from a house as police stand guard during a demolition of shanties along Payatas Road in Quezon City on Thursday. An estimated 70 families were affected by the demolition to make way for the expansion of the Payatas Elementary School. Asti Flores

At least 19 families whose houses were demolished in Quezon City's Payatas district Thursday spent the night at the area's covered court, even as demolition teams resumetheir work Friday.

The families were given a choice of relocating to Rodriguez town in Rizal province or to avail of in-city relocation, radio dzBB's Allan Gatus reported.

But the report said many of the families were wary of a supposed P2,500 fee that accompanies the in-city relocation.

Many shanties in the city's Payatas district were demolished on Thursday, but not before a violent confrontation between residents and the demolition team.

Some people were injured while traffic in the area was snarled during the confrontation, though the demolition pushed through.

Babri demolition case: SC pulls up CBI.
The Supreme Court on Thursday (Feb 7) questioned the CBI for the delay in filing an appeal against the Allahabad High Court verdict on dropping conspiracy charges against senior BJP leader LK Advani and others in Babri demolition case. The court turned down the CBI #39;s plea to file a fresh affidavit in the case. The apex Court also pulled up CBI for terming Babri Masjid demolition as a national crime. "You can #39;t say it is a national crime till we or trial court decides this way or the other," it said.
