If I were in control of this demolition, I'd have started by punching through right in front of the mouth of the
dinosaur on the south end, but that's just me.
I've started
an expanded photo archive that isn't too extensive right now but eventually will include before-and-afters of most every vantage point that this building is visible from--as I've said before, I'm not sure people will realize how much this building dominates the neighborhood until it's gone. I can't wait to not see it. And I'll certainly be continuing to document its demise.
For those not following along, once this building is gone Forest City will remake this block (known as the Yards's
Parcel A) by creating a temporary public park, along with a new home for the trapeze school and a parking lot.
