Thursday’s early-morning storms left an unoccupied Havelock building in even worse shape than it was.

A covered walkway built two years ago by the city to protect passersby from bricks falling from what used to be Los Dos Hermanos restaurant blew down and landed on a car parked on Havelock Avenue.

The irony wasn't lost on Nancy Rasmussen, who owns two buildings across the street.

“I would have been livid if it had been my car,” she said. “The building has been like that for years. ... It’s a huge thorn in Havelock business owners’ sides.”

Lincoln Building and Safety Director Chad Blahak said he doesn’t know the extent of damage to the car. He noted his department had to build the walkway when the former restaurant's owner failed to do it.

“It’s not an attractive space,” he said. “It looks like it’s in a state of reconstruction and has been like that for a long time. The immediate neighbors aren’t real pleased about the look of it.”

Steve Stutzman owns Arnold’s Tavern next door and has just about reached his wit’s end.
