EAST ALTON - East Alton Mayor Darren Carlton said the demolition of the Old Citizens Savings Bank is going according to plan and that the tear-down and site removal will continue into next week. Carlton reported that most of the old building is down, but some of the first floor has walls that are still standing that will be brought to the ground. “They will start hauling it off next week,” he said.
