Excellent job, and great photos, Swanky. I drive by an empty lot once a month or so and kick myself each time for not having taken photos before it too was demolished and cleared. Which reminds me, there are still a lot of classic mid-century motels with neon signs in my part of the country. These need to be photographed before they also collapse in rusted heaps or also meet their demise through demolition. I think there are already web sites for these, so I keep telling myself I do not need another hobby and that someone else has these covered. But there is great fun in driving down backcountry highways and finding stuff on your own.

Does anyone still use a "wrecking ball?" I can't think of a single demolition in the last 10 or 20 years where they didn't use tractors with claws to rip apart and rough-sort material at the same time. (I know, I know, this question should actually be posted over on Demolition Central...)
