A steady march of progress: Three yards, a cloud of dust, and the anguished wailing of the Luddites.

As we await the weekly Tuesday afternoon conclusion to the annoyingly customary three-day weekend gap in updating non-sporting material on the Tribune’s web site, the C-J’s reportorial gaze returns to the Wizard of Westside’s realm and the next phase of Scribner Place.
