Here Comes... the demolition man! Honey Boo Boo's Georgia home 'to be torn down' as diggers move in with bulldozers
When TLC canceled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, potential buyers lost interest in the Thompson family home too that's been sitting idle on the real estate market.
Now workers with bulldozers have moved in on the property in rural McIntyre, Georgia amid reports that the owner plans to have the house demolished.
The owner was apparently unable to sell the home where Anna 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson lived 'for twice the purchase price.'

On Monday, a demolition crew knocked down a shed next door to the family's former white clapboard house.
A heap of wood bits and pieces was all that remained of the structure.
Even Mike 'Sugar Bear' Thompson couldn't resist driving by in his red car to observe the work in progress.

The gossip site reported previously that the owner of the estate had listed the house for $45K, which is double the purchase price, with the hope it would be sold for more due to the property's reputation.
It seems as if that strategy did not work as it will now be demolished to make room for new construction.
The property is 1,368-square-feet with three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms in the Georgia town with a population of 650.
Not a success: The gossip site reported in June that the owner doubled the purchase price at $45K as he believed the 1,368-square-feet, three bedrooms home would sell due to it's notoriety
