McDonalds drive-thru with demolition…. yes, I’ll have fries with that.

Mcdonalds drive thru lanes with a black car, in front of two apartment buildings now empty and getting ready to be demolished

The demolition hasn’t really started yet but the buildings are empty and the grounds interiors are being cleared out.

    I’ve come to appreciate the delicate precision skills needed for safe, efficient demolition in crowded city settings — nuthin’ brute-force about it…
