Goodbye Spectrum

Watching them take a wrecking ball to the Spectrum is about as exciting as watching paint dry. I didn't watch any of the pre-game coverage, so I don't know why the decision was made to take the building down by hand rather than by blowing it up ... I guess the construction didn't lend itself to that.

The Spectrum was a Philadelphia institution. A lot of sports played there, trophies one, concerts held, and so I've heard, dope smoked.

And now, piece by piece, she's being turned into a flat place for an oversized, upscale mall and entertainment complex.
