DULUTH - One of Duluth's biggest eye sores has finally come down.

The rundown property at 820 North Lake Avenue had been vacant for 30 years.

City and community leaders made it a priority about two years ago to clean up nuisance properties with a new Blight Reduction Program.

Neighbors say it will go a long way toward making Duluth a more attractive place to live.

"I think it's just a symbol of the progressive nature of the city of Duluth and the administration of Mayor Don Ness and just moving the city forward," said neighbor, Lenore Lampi.

This property is just one of many the city is hoping to clean up through the program.
