Demolition underway at burned C&K Hotel -- to be residential building with retail

You may remember a few weeks ago when the vacant C&K Hotel at 14th and Quincy, formerly a transient hotel, brothel and drug den, caught fire. The fire thankfully didn't cause any major injuries or damage any surrounding properties, although two firefighters went to the hospital with smoke-related injuries.

The building is quickly being demolished and today a big hole, maybe a foundation or basement, is being dug on the site, which to me means there's progress going on what's going in there -- a 20-unit residential building with ground floor retail. That sounds good to me.

Below is the building, which was made up of adjoining rowhouses, after the fire.
