    Thanks for the update, John.
    Swinging a length of I-beam in the jaws of the concrete smasher to knock down structural steel is and interesting approach. It worked, after a fashion.

    Wow I can’t believe that building has been demolishing it looks like there almost done! I remember going here when I was younger but I would only go in the sears cause the mall was so dead

    why did they carefully lift the sign off instead of knocking it over?

      The old sign is being preserved as a memento. Otherwise, it would have been smashed like everything else.

    Why was such a big building demolished when it could have been repurposed?

      It started out as Landmark Center before being re-branded as Landmark Mall. The sign was a bit dilapidated, and the MA fell off, revealing the CEN underneath.

    He's cutting those steel beams into much smaller pieces than we've seen trucked away on other jobs. Do they get more for the scrap when cut into smaller pieces? Get more on the trucks? Or?

    • @JohnZWetmore

      I've seen beams cut up into short pieces a couple of times.
