I took the kids down to Central to watch something... sniffle... a bit sad. We watched as my freshman dorm was demolished. (apparently, it wasn't structurally sound. Something about the entire building being held up by a few big cables... Yikes - something I'd like to have known before living on the 9th floor for a year! :))
The kids were so patient as mommy shared stories that started with, "that was the... window, elevator, sidewalk, bathroom, etc." :) As leah watched the huge crane rip cement and metal and glass away from the building like twigs, she just kept exclaiming, "Mommy, did you see THAT? ... I just can't believe it!" Leif just watched wide-eyed, making his machine noises and squealing with delight! All in all it was a great outing! I even ran into a few old friends who were there saying their goodbyes!

I was wondering what it all looked like when that place went down...that's neat you took the kiddos to watch it.
I am so upset! Some of my best memories from college are set in that dorm. Did they tear the other one down too? (I forget what it was called.)
