They imploded the old St. Francis hospital today across Centre Avenue from the Mellon Arena to make room for the new arena being built for the Pittsburgh Penguins.  They had failed to pull it down a few weeks ago, so they just blew it up.  I’m happy they did.

they’re going to blow up the old St. Francis hospital across the street from the Mellon Arena next Saturday.  YAY!  I don’t know if you’ll be able to hear or feel the explosion from my house, but I’ll definitely get as close as possible to see it happen.  That will be a fun thing for Erik to see too I think.
