the building had occupancy issues prior to Laura, they couldn't even fill it
the hurricane is probably the best thing to happen to it
the owners were trying to extort the insurance company for damages to make out like bandits

We temporarily lived on Clarence St after Laura. I liked living downtown and sort of wish I had access to the balcony of the townhouse for this.

But they shut the interstate down for it. Can you imagine driving over that crappy bridge at the same time as the building implosion?

My balcony overlooked Ryan St so I wouldn’t be able to see it from there but between the dust then clean up, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere around there for a while after the demo

You’ll get the realistic ground shaking action as if you were half a block away, that’s for sure.

Dude… why not just ask if they will hire a 14 year old to shoot it down with an AR? That’s brutal 3,000+ dead
