Demolition men



Sometimes what goes on behind plywood remains a secret, unknown to the casual passerby. At other times, when we can see demolition taking place, it is breathtaking, whereas at other times banal or merely inconsequential. Yet this crew of men with sledgehammers strikes at the heart of the matter: smash the building from the top down. Absent the usual blue or green paint, the plain plywood looks garish, especially in conjunction with the repeating signs: DANGER KEEP OUT - NO PARKING - DANGER HARD HAT AREA. Everything screams: cheap demolition on the fly. A minor smackdown. One guy pushes the broom around, and the scene is relatively quiet. You have to wonder if those Voice and Onion containers will even get a coating of dust on them.
