Photos: The last day in Lowry Grove
The Lowry Grove mobile home park in St. Anthony closed Friday, after more than 70 years in operation.
The park was sold to a developer, who plans to demolish it to build apartment buildings and townhouses.
The residents challenged both the sale and the closure. A lawsuit is still pending, but the last residents had to leave the park by midnight.
