Mexia demolition project marks new start for old corner KXXV and last updated 2021-02-06 00:49:17-05 MEXIA, TX â "Out with the old and in with the new" they say, but sometimes that saying rides like a bulldozer over historic buildings and landmarks. In Mexia, they bulldozed a building this week with a bit of history, but one that also posed a very real public danger. City leaders say they made the move as a way to make an investment in their future. Attorney and former judge Daniel Burkeen cherishes history and he hates to see it crumble or torn down.
