Waiting For The End At 3119 4th St. N.

Supposedly, 3119 4th St. N. will meet its long-anticipated demise tomorrow, at the hands of a backhoe. Here are some scenes taken earlier in the week showing...

...the mood of demolition dudes "twiddling the sledge hammer" while reportedly waiting for JUST ONE MORE SIGNATURE.

From top to bottom: 1.) If you're going to "twiddle a sledgehammer" on your foot, steel-toed boots make it more comfortable. 2 and 3.) Note the lovely fall colors, the brown brick, the bright yellow of the bulldozer. To everything there is a season; a time to tear down stones and a time to gather stones together. Now is the season of demolition in the Eco Village. 4.) Smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, etc. removed from 3119 4th St. N. before demolition. Even when you're tearing down a three-story building; waste not, want not.

Tomorrow. Supposedly, "3119" will go down tomorrow. "Patty Cake" is chilling the champagne. We'll see if any of it gets consumed tomorrow.
