I went to Trader Joe's on my way back from Penn yesterday and they had a bunch of men on that corner advising people to "go around" and to watch their step. I'm not exactly sure what they were doing, but it makes me wonder if it had anything to do with the collapse.

That building was a disgrace. It has been dilapidated and partially torn down for over a month, must have been a demoliton error. Though I sure hope no one was injured or killed, it is good that its gone.
