Ohio Edison Demolition Update

I was away for the weekend, but managed to swing by the old Ohio Edison plant this afternoon to see how the demolition was coming along. The lake view is really opening up for the residents on W. 2nd Street!

It's still sad to see the facility being gutted, though. It's really kind of a work of art, the way the smokestacks, water tower and parts of the building all reach for the sky in an almost organic fashion.

It took a while, but I finally found an appropriate demolition reaction shot of our pal Reddy Kilowatt!

I'm curious to see how the tallest portions of the plant will come down. Hopefully the Morning Journal or Chronicle-Telegram will post some video of it when the time comes.
