The remaining section behind the old First Financial is coming down.
These photos are looking north from Central Ave.

Thanks for the images. This part of the demolition may have the biggest visual impact on Downtown since it touches Central.

The ghosts of many a mighty nail-driving men hit the skids in this building.
One to set, one to drive, one to finish.

This opens up the view of the mural on the rear of the old First Financial building.

The old Sorg is finally down as of today.
Looks like clean-up & remediation is about all that's left.

That bottom picture is kind of poignant!!!

Seems like that sign should be over the door:

Would be kind of cool if they kept the brick wall with arches and entrance as a monument to what was and as a decorative feature to what may ever develop there, if anything.

I decided to take one last panorama from the top of the parking garage
as I believe demolition is supposed to begin next week on the garage.
The remediation is starting to move along. Also noticed a few trucks
removing stuff from the old Swallen's building this afternoon.

Good idea.
 
Losing the ability to take pictures from the garage will be my only regret of its demolition.
