The photo above is from Washington Street, roughly from the corner of Washington and Franklin.
Above is a closer shot from Washington Street. You can’t see it, but the big red crane was wielding an old-fashioned wrecking ball to smash the walls.
Above is a side view from Franklin Street. You can see the red crane in the background and the Jaws of Death in the foreground.
Above is closer look at the Jaws of Death in action.
Above is the final photo, from Franklin Street.
