The tearing down of Burrowes started today. When I first got to work, they had a huge jlg type of lift raised to the 11th floor spraying the side of the building down with water. I'm assuming this was for dust control. Your side of the building is where they started (elevator end of the building). They are using a crane and a some sort of mechanism, which I cannot see at the moment, to apply downward force from the top of the building. It brings tears to my eyes to see the destruction of the place where our love was born. The building may die, but our love never will. It is forever. I wish you were here with me.
RIP Burrowes Hall 1970 - June 20, 2014

I looked again to see what was happening. They are using a wrecking ball. I watched with tears in my eyes as the ball hit the building and pieces of it fell to the ground. I remembered that there are webcams set up for the construction site, so I've been watching and downloading snapshots of the destruction. Hopefully one day you and I can look at these pictures together.

The destruction of Burrowes
Burrowes has started to be torn down. The center windows on the elevator side of the building have been removed and wokers are throwing out doors and ceiling tiles into a dumpster below.
I want to watch this destruction with you while holding your hand. This is where our love started. It tears me apart to see the place being destroyed. Nothing can destroy our love, not even us.
