Most of the street was blocked off and they had one of those big claw machines that grabs the brick and pulls it away.
It was pretty cool. Big chunks of brick would get dislodged and then fall to the ground with a crash (so I can see why they so much of the street closed - safety first). They worked on it the whole time we were in the 9 Pound Hammer drinking PBR. And they were still crashing around at about 10pm, but the dim lighting made everything look very eery.
At that point, we decided to head over to Stellar pizza, where we had a lovely pepperoni and black olive pizza - Aaron and our other friend had a veggie pizza for their half. 
(And, by the way, if you like photo booths, Stellar has one that is in very good condition and takes way better pictures than the booth at Archie McPhee's.)It was a fun evening and reminded me that it's important to leave the north end of town every once in a while.

Yikes - you witnessed what could turn into a horrible change for Georgetown. Let's hope the developers are in tune with the artistic feel of the community!
Yeah, I hope so, too! Jim was telling us about the artist workspaces that were in the old cold storage building, so that sucks that they got displaced. We were talking about whether the building would be turned into condos. I was thinking the downturn in the economy might dissuade developers from doing that, but who knows. Hopefully, the space will be used for something that fits with the neighborhood and doesn't stick out and crap everything up.
oh, i didn't realize it was already torn down! that stinks--i would have liked to see it. i always meant to take photos there :(
