The Montgomery Ward Building, Kannapolis, NC - Demolition 1990

This is just one day of the demolition of Montgomery Ward Building in Kannapolis NC in 1990. My dad had just got his first video camera and we walked uptown to get it on tape. Sadly we didn't get anymore on tape, or the prior demo of the Professional Building that stood beside it. These buildings stood between A + B streets on S. Main Street in Kannapolis, this is where the Dale Earnhardt Memorial is now. The annoying kid talking is me, I was 14 at the time and a friend and I had went in the building prior to demolition, security was non-existent back then. I'll probably end up with health problems from the asbestos exposure (hope not). The building was built in the 1930's and was vacated sometime in the mid 1980's.
