Evidently high winds from recent storms damaged two decorative elements along the roof line of an office at 106 North Church Street. With thousands of persons arriving for Main Street's "Friday Night Live" free concerts (7/3/2015), it was decided that Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue should remove the dangling sheet metal.

Shortly after 6:00PM, while Everyday People were setting-up less than 500-feet away, MFRD pulled a ladder truck in front of the century old office building on the east side of the historic square. In less than 30-minutes the large decorative pieces of flacid metal and wooden underpinnings were removed, and the sidewalk below was safe and opened again to pedestrians.
