Since we upgraded from a grocery store to a ‘little-of-everything-mart,’ we’ve been all but counting the days until they tore the old storefront down. And guess who the lucky photographer was?

Every American deserves to see a former place of work destroyed. It’s very cathartic. Almost makes you need a tissue. To make things all the more awesome is finding out that the company doing the demolition has the same surname as me!

It is a little off-putting that the company saw fit to send me in past the fences without a hardhat or anything. Debris only managed to ding one van in the whole place.

On the way back inside, I noticed a pretty steady stream of debris, and a spreading crack along the side of the awning. Gave me a nice chance to burn more clock time waiting…

For the fricking thing to come tumbling down! Note the white car hurriedly shifting into reverse and the woman covering her ears. Incidentally, the noise wasn’t half as bad as I thought. If I hadn’t been outside I wouldn’t have even noticed. I missed the first half of the awning coming down.

Ohshi- I left my eye drops in there.
