It was a beautiful day after Christmas yesterday, and as you can see the work on the Robinson Warehouse is continuing. I don’t know how much time they deliberately took off, or how much they might have lost to inclement … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I usually start these posts with a long-view perspective of the whole demolition, but I thought this time I’d show a closer view, where you can see more of the basement. I got right up to the edge of the … Continue reading → Continue reading →
