The former Walker’s Body Shop building was demolished Monday between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., making way for a new pavilion to be constructed this spring. The pavilion will be the permanent home of the Downtown Maryville Market. This year’s market will begin in its current location in the Nodaway Valley Bank parking lot near Fourth and Buchanan streets before moving to its permanent home once the pavilion is constructed. The pavilion is expected to be ready by July.
