WOODSTOCK - Smoke wafted from a hole in a section of roof still intact as a large backhoe outfitted with a claw began pulling down the brick walls and concrete floors.
Half of what was a well-kept, three-story walk-up apartment building inhabited by dozens of senior citizens on Woodstock’s Victoria St. is a burned out, collapsed pile of rubble.
Nearby, residents of a sister apartment building about 50 meters across a parking lot watched anxiously, hoping for word that the two missing residents would be found, alive.
