Demolition




On this blustery autumn day, the kids and I stayed in comfy jams for quite awhile, eating pancakes, playing with cars, and then we got a call from PJ stating that he was coming home to change clothes. He was out at the job site supervising a building coming down and the wind was going right through him. So we rustled up his Carhart gear, and sent him on his way. Not long after the kids and I were in comfy sweatsuits and out the door with the camera because we could not miss the building coming down!!! Especially after we missed the three houses south of Creighton on John street coming down. I took quite a few of the Central Sports building getting attacked by the bulldozer, and also of the debris from the houses being scooped up and carted off. This shows the Central Sports building, before and during. I am leaving it to PJ to get an after shot.
also to note that the demo crew was able to save a piece of concrete that was on the roof of the building put there by the man who built the building and is giving it to the man's niece per her request. I thought that was pretty cool. The concrete piece was knocked somehow into the building when everything else came crashing out onto the sidewalk, and was left intact. Divine intervention?
