^I wish I could get one of those small thick glass squares from the front as a souvenir of this building that I went in many times...

You just need to run by there before sunrise with a sledgehammer and make this happen.

This building will fill in a nice spot from Demonbreun.  I took this from viaduct yesterday.  One22One still have about 12-13 floors to go, I think.

Old building almost gone.

 

The Gossett next door is keeping a close eye on the demolition.

I'm still surprised they are keeping the "Upper 12th" structure. Seems like a maintenance headache just for a dog walk.

Are you talking about that platform thing that's raised above the street?  I would think they'd want to tear that monstrosity down!

I really think if you drop by in the next day or two, you can get one. There are several lying around and there are several sections that are not completely knocked down

Can you even get inside the fenced-in area? I wouldn't want to have a cop or security guard accuse me of breaking in and stealing.

That’s why you go at 3am.  And wear all black.  And use night vision goggles.

I love how there is just one ray of light shining onto this collection of glass blocks that appear to be purposefully arranged to look haphazardly strewn across the floor.  The artistic qualities of this photo make it both one of the best and funniest pictures I have seen on here in a while... to say nothing of the context of the discussion.  Bravo!
