Houston19514 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Last time I checked it was all hollowed out on the inside (slowly cleaned out over the last 10 years I've been checking). I hope it doesn't go down as slowly and as painfully as its neighbor William Penn did..Should be pretty fast. Implosion scheduled for December 9.

samagon Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Any word on the time on Dec 9th? If my calendar is correct, that's a Sunday, so I'm hoping to hop over on my bicycle and catch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my calendar is correct, that's a Sunday, so I'm hoping to hop over on my bicycle and catch it.they usually do them fairly early on Sunday mornings. With this one being right across the street from church, I would expect maybe VERY early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrodiii Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I was thinking that it would have to be early as well so that it doesn't disrupt any of the sermons. Would be nice to know the time so I can walk over and see it come down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I know there will be a few of us - I haven't heard anything about perimeters but if anyone wants to meet up I was thinking La Branch/Preston area would be decent since it's just a parking lot in between (or however close to that as possible)..

sevfiv Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I went by Preston/Crawford the other night and the view from the street is good - however close to that as possible is where I'll be.

arrodiii Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I see that a few cops have been outside the Inn at the Ballpark since this morning. I'm going to walk my dog around there in about half an hour and see if they will let me know what the perimeter will be. I'll be heading out there around 1215-ish, probably wearing an old Eagles shirt and some shorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
