  • How was the vacated hospital a problem? I think it would be very worth while to refurb it and turn it into cheap apartments or something.

  • This was a controversy in the community. As you can see from the video, the building was solid. The talk about building a new hospital had to do with things like asbestos problems, yet once the old building was vacated there was a push to turn it into apartments. Asbestos didn't seem to matter at that point.

    A project was begun to create apartments, but fell through. Then the building sat empty and became vandalized -- lots of broken windows and spray paint. By the end, demo seemed good.

  • dude they dont build them like they used to lol all that rebarb

  • That marveling at all the re-bar was one of the main conversations of the afternoon during demo. I don't know anything about construction, but I figured there would be re-bar -- what I didn't figure was there being more "bar" than cement.

  • That was the most impressive thing, seeing all that rebar in the columns. With all that steel, there was hardly room for cement.

  • why are they throwing water at it in the beginning?

  • I believe it was to help keep the dust from blowing all over, but don't really know for sure.
