Gallery Description
"Hey! You hear that? "
"What's that Pa?'
'It's a sound of progress, Billy!"

Yes. And so it came to pass in a year 2005 of our Lord, possibly the most interesting UE site in San Antonio is currently being demolished. St.Benedicts clinic/King William Medical center, a massive complex near downtown SA in the process of tear down...Surrounded by temporary wire fencing the clinc is 45% piles of rubble. When we visited the site on 10/08/05 I was struck by finality of it all. Large back courtyard of the compound was filled with demolition workers, pick up trucks and one busy,giant metallic monster that was ripping the St.Benedicts a NEW ONE!
In the remaining buildings all the windows were busted and all the junk was thrown outside....What used to be a really fun UE location was being transformed into a immense pile of garbage...I've visited St.Benedicts about many times through the years and I never left dissapointed ....Even when I was unable to gain entrance....One was overwhelmed by it's sheer size....especially at night.It was a world of it's own. Dark passages, empty rooms, strange hallways and aura of history...A classic cherry UE location. One could literally spend days exploring the complex..When you were inside, you felt as if you was swallowed up by a whale...With no hope of ever coming out....Every trip was different! Every room was discovery! Every door held a treasure behind it!
.....and now it's all gone. Sort of end of an era. I grew up with that site and learned a lot from it. In a year of many
irreparable losses, this was just another traumatic occurance.
So, goodbye St.Benedict's! I'll never forget you. No hotel will ever replace you. I'm glad we had our good times and I walked away with some good memories and some sweet photos....
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...........
