Fauntleroy Place site demolition update: Facade still standing

stillnottotallygone.jpg

At day’s end, when the heavy-equipment operators parked their rigs for the night, that’s what was still left at the future site of Fauntleroy Place — a massive mountain of debris, and the shell of the ex-Schuck’s/Hancock Fabrics building’s east-facing facade. Crews started tearing into the building around 10:40 this morning, as we showed you here; we checked back around mid-afternoon for another video clip — the progress here was coming from inside the building (keep an eye on the background for chunks falling down, especially one pulled from up top about a minute into the clip):

So there’s more work to do tomorrow. And as mentioned before, the newest Fauntleroy Place design gets a public hearing before the Southwest Design Review Board at 8 pm August 14th (two weeks from Thursday), at High Point Community Center.

    I’m thinking that demolition like that must be a gas of a job…you get to play with those big toys, get your aggressions out on the building coming down (Take that ! and that !), and go home at the end of the day knowing that you can just relax – you don’t have to take the job home with you :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
