Two Days of Demolition on Mathis Plaza Eyesore

Today marked the end of the South Toms River structure

The glass and concrete structure, a long part of the Mathis Plaza on Rt. 166, has finally been destroyed and removed.

Demolition started yesterday and was completed early this afternoon, on the South Toms River park that sits on the Toms River, directly across from Huddy Park.

Backhoes and front loaders scraped the area of debris into the afternoon.
