Has everything come down? There has been no update on the RyPN-hosted site since 4/22, but the newspiece linked below seems to indicate that demolition began around 5/20. http://www.weau.com/home/headlines/785797.html mckay1995@comcast.net |

Yes, demolition started on 5/20 - and if they were efficent everything should have come down that day. Reportedly the turntable was sold to a group or individual in South Dakota, despite the town's efforts to keep it local. I have been too busy over the past to get a full report from Altoona, but look for something next week. > Has everything come down?
