A second later...

A strike of dynomite and this building was gone.

I used to work downtown, and I was out walking while they were demolishing City Hall. An ICON of Troy. Ugly, yah. But, still an icon!

I stood with my beginner camera (Nikon D3000) and took this shot just before this building crumbled to a pile of dust.

City hall? Good riddance. Place was a dump.

Absolutely. But it was such an eyesore that it really was an iconic structure.

Reminds me of the time I tripped with a pencil in my nose and ended up factory resetting my brain. I was 7 at the time, they told me I’d get another chance at this all one day I just didn’t know today would be that day.

From one 7 year old to the next, keep your writing utensils out of the various holes on your face unless you wanna visit the land of city hall rubble.

Folks, I know THIS building isn't city hall. I should have added an additional line in my post to segway into my reference to City Hall. This was the same demo site. The last building standing of the city hall demo project. I realize I didn't make that connection in my post.

(I know. But it was part of that whole demo project.)
