Day #3

Well, I'm not going to blog every single day, but these first ones still carry a bit of the excitement! The excavator has left standing the very front of the building, but the giant claw was still busy loading up semi-sized dump trucks with the debris from previous days. If you watch closely, you'll see the excavator scrape off the brick wall on the left side, closer to the front. They come down in a huge poof of dust. Otherwise, most of the work seemed to be removing debris. Eventually the front of the building has to go! Watch the time-lapse here.

What am I seeing behind the area being excavated? The back of another building?

I believe the apple store will open before the hotel/condo project does.
