This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017. The current owners are now publishing link spam which made me want to preserve this history.. The original article was published July 28, 2012 and can be found here.
It's no secret. We all love a good implosion. So like any good citizen I woke up early (9:45am) and made my way over (and around police barricades) to the wrecking site so's I could shoot some video of this one. I should apologize for the quality, however. With all the local streets closed off to traffic and officials encouraging people not to come out, this was the best location I could find. But you'll get the idea. It's an implosion. Wooo hoooo. Roll the video...
Rochester has seen more than its share of these. Often times emotions are mixed. Though I suspect not many tears will be shed over the loss of this 19-story beer can shaped thing. On the other hand, people did actually call this building home
for many years, so let's be respectful.
If you're itching to see more, WHAM 13 has some video
(after this word from their sponsor)... here
