Two weeks to the day from the court declaration of blight and public nuisance, 115-117 Gilman Ave. still loomed in the overcast background of Harmar Elementary play Monday.
“We talk about that place being haunted and if there’s a bad guy there or something,” said Reagan Slaubaugh, 8, of Marietta, as she kicked a soccer ball with fellow second-grade students in the grass of the primary school.
