COLISEUM
Quote
The implosion will take place Saturday, January 20, at 7:30a.m. Note that by 5:30p.m. the night before all cars parked in the Ninth Square George Street Garage and George Street surface lots must be moved.

January 20th no cars will be allowed within the safety perimeter bound by the Temple Street Garage, Union Avenue, Crown Street, and South Frontage Road after 6a.m. and no pedestrians will be allowed after 6:30a.m.

The viewing area will be the top levels of the Temple Street Garage and there will be free parking. Berms will be built to capture dust and the area will be watered down. About two hours after the implosion streets will be re-opened. Cleaning activities will continue through the day.

I got the watch it go down from the non-moving Q-bridge. Was a pretty cool thing to see that close. Didn\'t realize how loud it was cos I had my radio on, but as Dave said, he heard it from his house as did my parents. It definitely shook the bridge which was a little sketchy.

The photos Jackie has of the implosion are incredible. Better than any from the papers that I have seen.
