NORRISTOWN >> The start of a six-month demolition of the seven-story Montgomery Hospital building on Powell Street las week has unlocked a flood of emotional responses from former patients, employees and residents of the nearby Locust Street block.

Its sad, but it is what it is, said Leah Yzzi, a 16-year resident of Norristown who worked at the hospital as both a switchboard operator and as a teenage candy striper. It was stupid to move the hospital to East Norriton.

Yzzi gave birth to her three children Kailee, 13, Jordan 12, and Angelo, 8 at Montgomery Hospital.

I made a lot of friends there. My mom, Kathy Kriebel, worked there for 15 years as an oncology nurse, she said. My stepdad, Dave Trumbore, worked there as an infectious disease doctor. I actually candy striped there for two summers in high school. I liked doing that.

Yzzi was not concerned about the demolition work that will eventually remove the seven-story tower of the vacant hospital across the street from her home. The building faade is about 100 feet from her front door.

Karen Clarke, of Jamison, Bucks County, attended the Montgomery Hospital School of Nursing from 1973 to 1975 and then embarked on a 38-year career as a psychiatric nurse. She retired in late 2014.

I was 18 when I entered the program. It was a self-contained program and we lived in a dormitory across the back driveway from the hospital, Clarke said. We went to class in the basement of what became a medical office building. It was a hands-on type of learning environment.

Clarkes training was rushed at the end of the two-year program because they were closing the nursing program, she said. One of her training stints at Eastern State School and Hospital, a psychiatric facility, turned into a permanent job.

We went all over the place as part of our training. I thought it was an excellent program because I had the confidence to be able to go into any field of nursing, she said. I was very grateful for the instructors and the doctors that gave us some of the lectures. I think that training gave me a good nursing career.

Robert Holmes, 53, has lived across from the hospital on Locust Street for more than 15 years and was born at Montgomery. Continued...

Demolition started this week at the Wayfarer Hotel and Convention Center in Bedford.

A location known for years as the headquarters of New Hampshire primary campaigns is all but gone.

"It was very quick," said Bill Duschatko of the Bedford Town Council. "Much quicker than I expected."

The site will soon be the home of the new Goffe Mill Plaza. It will feature a Whole Foods store, a bank, restaurants and a 73-unit apartment building.

There is also a plan to preserve the past. The pedestrian bridge that once stood at the site could find a new home in Wentworth, which has been in the market for a new one.

"A couple of years ago, our 1909 historic bridge crossing over the Baker River Falls was condemned by the state Department of Transportation," said Jennifer Meade of the Friends of Wentworth Park and Recreation.

The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance helped Wentworth find the bridge in Bedford, and the hope is that Bedford's improvement project will help fill the gap in Wentworth.

"We're working with the DOT in hopes that they'll take the budget that they set aside for that little walkway to assist us, to give us the funds to see this through," Meade said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Demolition work has begun on a historic Philadelphia movie palace despite long-running efforts by preservationists to try to save the structure.

Crews tore down huge sections of the brick wall Saturday on two sides of The Boyd Theater, an Art Deco movie palace that opened in 1928. The Chestnut Street facade remained intact.

Fans of the movie palace last year struck a deal to protect the exterior, the foyer, and lobby, but the agreement did not cover the lavish auditorium.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the city issued a permit last month allowing partial demolition of certain portions of the rear vacant building (former theater).

Howard Haas, president of the Friends of the Boyd, called the demolition heartbreaking. He said Philadelphia will no longer have any premiere movie palaces remaining.
