So much for this being a safe desk job! On our way home yesterday, we walked passed 328 Grand Avenue, the two-story warehouse whose demise we have been lamenting, and took a few photos of the progress; then we crossed the street to take a couple of photos of the interior (staying on the sidewalk but standing underneath the shed). About half an hour later we were sitting on our stoop with the kids when we heard three or four fire trucks converging in the general vicinity of 328. Turns out part of the building had collapsed — right over where we’d been standing. Time to invest in a hard hat.
