Tuesday - August 16: It only took one day for demolition company X-treme Trucking to bring it down. The building pictured here was located at 13th & Main St in Wellsville. It was last used as the home of the internet broadcasting station wkmxlive. They are the ones that originally began broadcasting the Wellville High School sports.
Neighbors tell us it was originally the home of the Venetian Cafe. That was before our time but before the broadcasting station we recall it being a State Liquor Store and later on a pizza shop. Up until it was condemned there were apartments rented on the second floor.
WFD Chief Bill Smith tells us that last winter a truck hit a couple of vehicles parked there before hitting the building itself. That accident cause structural damage. It you look closely at the first picture you can see a gaping space between the uptown side wall and the front. With that side wall on the right coming away from the building it was determined to be unsafe.
There will be no interruption with broadcasting WHS games. Their operation is mostly mobile except for the home location which was changed at the beginning of last season.

One of the things that really stuck out to me during my last drive through town: The number of empty lots, where I know a building once stood...
It's good that this damaged and unsafe structure is gone. But who will use this space in the future? Where are we headed?
The WHS Games have been brocasted for the last three years by WellsvilleAlumni.Com. That Website is the Home of the WHS Sports Channel.
Id like to thank Nick Amato for his help and everything that he has done for us including that building.....without him.. the broadcasting might not have been able to be here in Wellsville...
and not to forget Mayor Joe Surace for thriving so hard to get this broadcasting here for everyone.. It was Joe who convinced me that Wellsville would be so welcoming and appreciative of this sort of thing.. He was 100% right..
I have been working hard on my first feature film for over a year now.. and since then Sparky Miller has taken over the reigns and does a perfect job making sure that each and every person can see and hear the games...
I don't have alot of time with the writing and chasing down cast and crew members.. haha.. but I do listen in from time to time and I have to say, We have a great bunch of guys with the spirit for this town that no town can match...
Keep up the good work guys...
