Thursday - February 18: A parking shelter that was part of the old Sterling China collapsed Thursday morning under the weight of the recent snow falls. The shelter is located between Brick Alley & Anderson Street and is adjacent to the former china company. The collapsed shelter is one of two on the parking lot that was for Sterling employees. The lot is now used as an impound lot for cars towed by Jim's Wrecker Service & T & T Towing. The collapsed shelter was called in by a CARTS driver who heard the rumble when it was falling.
Fortunately no one was injured but several vehicles suffered severe damage that were parked under the shelter. The roof of the shelter appeared to be constructed of particle board several years ago. A guide line on a near-by power pole sliced through it like a knife and fence posts could be seen sticking up all along the nearly half block long shelter roof. With half of it blocking the alley clean up crews were busy shortly after it was reported.
