But it happens.

More than we'd like to see too.

Now, it was announced a while back that the 34th Street Market had closed its doors for good a few months ago.

Philly Voice reports that the market was demolished late last week.

Then the 34th Street Market posted this photo on their Instagram of the torn down structure.

It's a place that always held a special place in my heart, and the Jersey Shore just won't be quite the same without it.

Now this may come as a shocker but it looks like the land will be developed into condos.

According to Philly Voice, the plans for the land include four condo units that sit on top of some retail space.
