Kaboom!

Now you see it: 

Now ya don't:

We woke up early last Saturday and drove to our old stomping grounds to watch the implosion. I told the kids it's not every day you get to see a building go down like that. I took a video, but I missed the first few seconds and it was over so fast, I don't know if it's worth posting.
Here is a link to someone else's video.

Then, we spent the next half hour in traffic trying to get back out of town.  Lots of people turned out for the demolition of that landmark.

I remembered to get a picture of the kids,

so that they can remember how old or little they were when it happened.
