i remember waking up early to watch this on TV xD

I worked at the hotel for a while with Bogosian Security. I wish I would have kept the cabinet full of pictures from the early years that I found.

I worked in this beautiful historic hotel, It needed restoration, not demolition!
-
What are they building in its place?
-
Oh, no, I haven't. I've never even visited San Diego. But, yeah, that was a lot of work to get ready for the implosion. They oughtta be paid a bonus for that.

A beautiful building with beautiful memories. A shame that we demolish something that could be preserved for history... but money was before history making this time... a Shame in this case.

A band called Cake. The song is called 'It's Coming Down' and is from the album 'Fashion Nugget' circa 1997. I bought the album back then. Good track.

Who plays the music in this video?



True, that was a very old and historic building that came down, but unfortunately, y'all know the old saying...what comes up MUST come down.

yep - have you been to the site recently? it's kinda creepy what they're doing on the construction site. they're not building anything, but they've done a lot of work to dress up the walls keeping you out of the construction site.

BTW, the building that got demolished was the parking lot scene in 'Traffic' where the car bomb explosion happens. In the background you can see the "Hotel San Diego" mural on the building itself. It was a classic.

8:05. I guess I should have said "6AM ain't too early to get up to watch shit blow up" instead? While that may be accurate, it doesn't quite roll off the tongue. Artistic license.
