North Dallas - implosion Sunday 11/9 8am

This just in from the Dallas Morning News:

Holiday Inn-plosion: Central Expressway hotel set for Sunday demise
04:39 PM CST on Friday, November 7, 2008
By DAN X. McGRAW / The Dallas Morning News
http://www.dallasn...inn.18d5b3a73.html

If you hear a loud boom in North Dallas or Lake Highlands on Sunday morning, it probably isn’t another earthquake.

(map: 10650 N. Central Expressway)

A Holiday Inn Select on the east side of North Central Expressway near Royal Lane will be imploded at 8 a.m. Sunday to make way for a new 83-acre mixed-use development by Valencia Capital Management, said Kristen Reed, a Valencia spokeswoman.

The new development will have high-rise condominiums, luxury town homes, senior living and medical office buildings. The development will be completed by December 2009.

The demolition can be viewed by the public and is expected to disrupt traffic.

Road closures:

North Central Expressway will be closed in both directions shortly before 8 a.m. between Meadow Lane and Royal Lane. The closure is expected to last 10 minutes. The northbound access road will also be closed, but the southbound access road will be open.

Notes:

* Exploration of the structure this weekend would be a poor choice of destinations.

* To Barry: No, I didn't.

So, did anyone ever explore this place? Looks like a pretty well & recently maintained building.

Awesome. Don't think I'll make it -- late night babysitting. You guys have the excitement, I'll hold down the fort.

Wow, now that's cool. That was an awesome opportunity you got there Bustedknuckle. Thanks for posting the pictures.

...the wings on my shoes shrank now the moths won't eat my kidneys, when i shake my state capital it only yields 3 fairy napkins, but how do i know my banana slippers are like water boats because when the moon winks it burns my hamster punches, and that's how you get to llama school rowing your canoe backwards up main street when the front bumper falls off, do mermaids get to drink orange juice?

I've seen pix of some of their demos before, and it seems like they usually leave them up...I guess the best advertising is from people seeing their banner in all the pictures and video clips of the demo!

Hey when you make a million or more doing the implosion. A 100 dollar banner is nothing to worry about........
